The Open Hand Celebration Cookbook: Great Chefs Cook for Festive Occasions

This all-new collection of recipes from Bay Area chefs celebrates the philosophy of food as a celebration of life. A share of the proceeds wil be donated to Project Open Hand, a nonprofit organization that brings nutritious meals to those who are unable to cook for themselves. Two-color ilustrations.

Like its predecessor, The Open Hand Cookbook ( LJ 11/15/89), this benefit cookbook--Project Open Hand provides meals to people with AIDS--boasts an impressive roster of contributors from the California culinary community. Each offers a seasonal menu for a celebratory meal, such as Bradley Ogden's May Day Festival or Wolfgang Puck's Exceptional Dinner for the Holidays. Some of these recipes seem less accessible to home cooks than those in the earlier book, but this is nevertheless a pleasingly diverse collection of special menus. For area and larger collections.
