The cap and apron, not the cap and bells, is the garb in which they perform. Secrets handed down through generations are thrown with a wonton hand on the pages that comprise this volume. Sauces from the south, chowders from New England, barbecued masterpieces from the West, grilled classics from field and stream, ragouts, stews, desserts, dressings are hung withing reach of all, like garlic clusters from the rafters of opportunity. Reach up and help yourself.
