Chris, I am so pleased to see your comments about Bert! We corresponded for a few years before his untimely death to a rare vascular disease.

He was an amazing "friend via mail," and even when most swamped would reply to missives. When I would 'complain" about the (rare) recipe that could be improved, he was always gracious and honest.

Kitchen Bouquets is much more a biography and food text than simply a cook book. While Green on Greens is a favorite for any vegetables, The Store Cookbook for that amazing Ziti Salad, The Store baked Ham and his deserts, Kitchen Bouquets reigns as the tome for flavors!

Thanks for sharing the book, and even more for sending me to MY copy of the book teaming with letters and postcards from my old friend and mentor via mail!
