Anytime is a good time for this food lovers cookbook.

Food is my passion. I love nothing better than thinking about it; shopping for it in big open markets; preparing it; serving it to others; eating it myself; writing about it and reading inspired cookbooks. Alas, too few cookbooks are inspired and fewer still fire my enthusiasm like the first pair written by Julee Rosso and Sheila Lukins.

The original "Silver Palate" and this "Good Times Cookbook" are my kitchen bibles, along with Mark Bittman's "The Best Recipes In The World."

"Good Times" is an essential culinary reference for anyone who delights in celebrating the seasons with good food, thoughtfully prepared. Long before "eating in season" became the foodie anthem, Rosso and Lukins theme-inspired-menus for "Rainy Day & Sundays;" "Siestas, Sunsets and Stargazing" and "Daffodil Weekend," gamely encouraged us to do just that.

How better to celebrate Halloween than with smoky pumpkin soup and Old Fashion carmelcorn? Mother's Day is the perfect excuse to whip up lemon chicken. Bring in the New Year with a golden caviar soufflé. Mark your favorite winter holiday with Christmas goose, three onion casserole and baked kumquats and parsnips. There are thousands of other holiday cookbooks out there, but none as original, inspiring and downright do-able as "Good Times."

Still wonderful after all these years

I bought the book for a friend and put notes by the recipes I've used over the last 20 or so years. I realized these are still some of my favorite dishes. The sidebar notes in the book are still very useful and fun reading. I would recommend highly for a cook who doesn't already have a dog-eared (like mine) version.

The exciting sequel to The Silver Palate Cookbook, this 450-recipe collection--acclaimed by critics nationwide--transforms any occasion into something magical. Winner of a 1986 Duncan Hines IACP Cookbook Award.
