So maybe the one on ebay will turn out to be a buy! |

I got one from Amazon for $42.00 about 5 years ago, so it may pop up less expensive from
time to time. It's a treasure. Some recipes are Mr B's pickles, Patty McBride's frankfurter salad, Doubrovska's champagne sherbet, Villella's beer soup. There are lots of interviews, anecdotes and photos. Can you picture Violette Verdy in the kitchen wearing an apron? |

I see her singing and swaying merrily away as she chops and stirs. (IMG:http://ballettalk.invisionzone.com/style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

For those of you who need to see it to believe it, here is a photo (obviously staged) of Verdy cooking. I don't own this photograph, but I thought it would be cute to add in here........
(I put the photo on a slideshow online, which is where the link below goes to...) http://www.slide.com/r/2ld7LKzM7z-0bgD6D9_...p;view=original |

Thanks, dancer100 - that picture is wonderful,
and that is not the photo in the book! Here is one of her recipes: A VELVET DRINK FOR COLDS 4 1/3 cups red wine 3 cups powdered sugar 1 tsp lemon rind Boil ingredients together over high flame 20-30 minutes or until reduced in half. Serve hot in a glass. Anybody want to try it and report? |

I'm featuring her not only singing and swaying merrily away-- speaking and singing in both French and English at 1000 mph--but whipping up unimaginably gourmet meals while assuring us it's the simplest thing in the world. |
