Garlic Breadsticks
These breadsticks are slender and crisp, rich with the savory flavor of garlic, and they make a very attractive presentation at
the table. My mother-in-law used to say that being "thin, rich, and beautiful" was something to aspire to, and these breadsticks have it all.

Book Description
Any of the dishes in this book can serve as the inspiration for a meal and set off a creative
chain of delicious possibilities. Fresh Green Pea Soup with Minted Yogurt Cheese is the perfect partner for Spiral Herb Bread with Chive Butter. Chicken Salad with Caper Dressing begs for a quick accompaniment like tender Big Buttermilk Biscuits.
Cornmeal Popovers pair up with a savory bowl of Curried Tomato Soup. Lisa Cowden provides more than two hundred recipes for soup, salad, breads, and spreads, creating a nearly limitless set of meals for every season. Her intricate cut-paper illustrations
are as artful as the food, and her meditations on art, cooking, and the seasons make this cookbook as pleasurable as it is practical.
