Marshall Fields was the best! We totally miss it...but the great meals keep coming! My wife wore out the first one, everynight for years our meals came from this book. We all gained a bunch of weight but it was totally worth it. Buy this book and your life could be this good (GREAT!) A book cover might make it last longer with a good book cover. If Macy makes a cookbook...well, just use this one for the rest of your life!!
I began reading this cookbook in a reception room while waiting for an appointment. I started to copy recipes that looked delicious in pictures and reasonable for an amateur, like me, to prepare. By the time I scribbled out 5 recipes I thought "this is ridiculous--I should buy this book!" After I got to flip through it at my leisure I realized what a great find this book is. There are so many recipes that aren't difficult-but your dinner guest would think so! I enjoy cooking and get tired of eating the same meals. There is enough variation (over 100 recipes) along with complete directions for each recipe. It also interjects interesting tidbits about the culinary history of Marshall Field's This book would make an excellent gift for a new bride or even the gourmet cook.
All of you who remember going shopping with your parents and stopping to have lunch at the Marshall Field's or Hudson's Restaurant will delight in the compilation of recipes and bits of nostalgia that this book has to offer! Everything from the classic varieties of soups and salads (remember the famous maurice salad and that dressing -- to die for!!) to almond crusted walleye sandwiches, potpies, oven baked meatloaf, and apple strudel! Also included are present recipes from the Marketplace as well as some from Field's Culinary Council - twelve of America's best loved chefs!! Terrific book and some wonderful memories!!!
The book if filled with recipes not only from the restaurants in Fields, but also new versions of those recipes for today's needs and tastes.
