Judith Huxley's Table for eight: Recipes and menus for entertaining with the seasons

From dust jacket notes: "Among its many pleasures, this cookbook contains a magic ingredient crucial to true hospitality - realistic planning. The key word is realistic, since plan ahead is the staple advice always given to the host/hostess cook all too seldom backed up with the nuts and bolts of well-made menus and recipes timed to work together....All the precautions, and a great deal of taste and talent, have been built into each of these fifty-two menus. They are organized by seasons and, within seasons, by months, so that ingredients are used when they are available at their freshest, most flavorful and least expensive. So that you can asses the menu, even before you read the recipes, each one is introduced by a thorough description, along with tips and techniques to give you total control over everything that happens from first course to last. The recipes were developed so that they can be prepared mostly or entirely in advance. In all of them you will find...the stages of preparation that can (or must) be completed ahead. Together with specific information on timing, this useful device makes it possible for cooks who work slowly or fast each to plan their own schedules. Judith Huxley's Table for Eight is clearly a book written by an exceptional cook and also by a woman with an exceptional sense of proportion. Its unpretentious philosophy is expressed in her introduction: that no meal should 'make guests feel uncomfortable about the amount of effort that went into their care and feeding.' Her readers will be unanimously grateful for her equal concern for the comfort and serenity of the cook...."
