My grandmother gifted me with one of those A-Z type cookbook series
(I'm pretty sure it was Time-Life) after I exhibited an interest in
it. I had xmas every month and I LOVED it (and yes, I even cooked
some recipes). However, a couple of decades ago I pruned my cookbooks
and that series was donated to a good samaritan organization. I can
only hope whoever bought the entire set because it was complete. I
get sad about that every time we talk about old cookbook *series* in
rfc.
