Summary:

The Bride and Groom's First Cookbook is indeed a first - the first modern and manageable teaching cookbook for young couples whose sophisticated tastes outdistance their kitchen skills and available time. This easy-to-use teaching book is designed for young working couples who will be sharing the cooking and entertaining chores at home. The recipes are designed to please the well-trained palate, but no culinary skill is assumed. Each recipe includes a list of necessary utensils, a clear set of do-ahead instructions, tips for serving, and variations. In addition, there is a section of complete menus for entertaining in a number of styles on different occasions, from a tailgate picnic to a formal dinner for in-laws or the boss. Each menu includes a timetable for completing all preparation chores and dividing them efficiently between two people. And last but not least, there are a glossary of cooking terms, a list of essential pantry ingredients, and a checklist for a bridal registry.
