The recipes have thorough, straightforward instructions and the authors' notes and comedic quotes found throughout the book keep you smiling, page after page.

Here are just a few of the recipes we really liked the sound of ~

• Honey Baked Coconut Shrimp ~ big beautiful shrimp dipped in honey and coated with coconut, baked and served with an apricot chili dijon sauce
• Sweet And Sour Candied Salami ~ easy to prepare cubed salami appetizer, baked in a fruity sauce with a subtle kick
• Masterful Mushroom And Feta Bread Pudding ~ an assortment of sliced mushrooms, sauteed and combined with green herbs, feta cheese and roasted red peppers to make a delectable, custard-like bread pudding

• Crunchy Baked Sea Bass ~ firm white fish coated with lemon-garlic mayonnaise and topped with crushed Ritz crackers and fresh dill
