And here it is in all its dazzling variety - piquant appetizers to stir the taste buds; good, rich soups to nourish the soul; succulent meat, fish and poultry dishes for hearty entrees; exciting different combinations of grains and vegetables. Rachel Hogrogian has made attainable those splendid breads and pastries that may have seemed too great a challenge to the intermediate baker. And her meltingly delicious desserts will be the perfect climax to any meal.
