We have two recipes for you from Fan Fare! Best of Bridge Cookbook on the site. I think you will love them both. Have a look at:

A Bowlful of Dinner

Turkey Meatball Korma

I love the actual book itself too. Beautifully photographed and a hard cover, which helps keeps it in good shape for years. As always I would love an image for each recipe, but I know I'll never get that in any cookbook.

I love the spiral binding too. It allows the pages to stay flat as you try to follow the recipe. Another plus is that the spiral binding is metal, which means it will last, unlike some of the plastic binding you find on some cookbooks.

My only negative comment about Fan Fare is I don't like the font. The book is printed all in capital letters, which tends to make it look a bit more folksy, but I do find it a bit harder to read and follow than a regular font. Also, the directions are in very large paragraphs, again I think making it a bit harder to follow when you are going back and forth from your mixing bowl or chopping block and the recipe.

That said, this is a wonderful cookbook, filled with over 200 tasty recipes, all of which you will probably really want to try.

This book is a real keeper and would make a perfect gift for anyone you know who loves to cook or entertain.
