Feast for Life: A Benefit Cookbook by Linda Provus Bartlett and Gretchen Sandin Jordan

Hardcover

A sensational blend of sustenance and style, Feast for Life serves up over 100 enticing recipes from international chefs and celebrities in this useful and entertaining collection. Compiled by coauthors Linda Provus Bartlett and Gretchen Sandin Jordan to raise funds for two of the nation's leading AIDS organizations, this unique illustrated cookbook celebrates life both in the vitality of its offerings and the worthiness of its purpose.

Contributing celebrities - from Lady Margaret Thatcher to Academy Award-winning actor Gregory Peck - share their favorite culinary creations and personal anecdotes to make Feast for Life at once original and engaging, yet practical in the kitchen. A foreword by Elizabeth Taylor is followed by recipes ranging from appetizers to desserts, featuring tantalizing dishes such as Giorgio Armani's Tortelli alla Piacentina and Roger Verge's Salad of Scallops with Orange Butter, and even a few everyday favorites like Dave Barry's Toast with Peanut Butter. Each dish is distinctive in style, yet achievable - tested in the kitchens of culinary graduate Gretchen Sandin Jordan and home cook Linda Provus Bartlett.
