yuum, sounds like a good cookbook.
I have seen it, but always felt that I would be taking out an encyclopedia every time I want to make something, so that is one cookbook I dont have. I am now reconsidering!
is it very expensive??

spice and spirit is just one of those basic cookbooks that have all the basic favorites with a few surprises. I think they need to update it and take out some of the margarine but I love it anyway although I make my own substitutions here and there. They did a superb job but if you have a basic cookbook maybe it's not necessary.

why does it seem like an encyclopedia? Because there aren't pictures?

I also love the half and half challah.

We make tuna squares for shabbos quite frequently (some of my kids really really don't like gefilte fish).

The apricot bars are good

Zucchini kugel
Cauliflower kugel

Potato Cholent

There's also a spinach salad recipe with a mustard dressing that my DH loves.
