Flavors, the 1978 Junior League of San Antonio's cookbook, re-debuted in October 2003. This cookbook has not been available since 1987! Over 75,000 cookbooks were previously sold. The 1,000 treasured recipes remain untouched in our well-known cookbook. The tantalizing recipes are representative of the fiesta melting pot of San Antonio.

Library Journal

This latest cookbook by the American Heart Association (e.g., American Heart Association Meals in Minutes, American Heart Association Kids' Cookbook) is devoted exclusively to desserts. Having made and eaten low-fat desserts, I have to admit that I was skeptical as to how "luscious" anything low fat could be. However, some of the recipes here are surprisingly tasty. While the recipes are not particularly difficult, most require quite a few steps. At the bottom of each recipe is a nutritional chart detailing the calories, fat grams, cholesterol, and fiber count per serving. The introduction and appendixes cover a wide range of topics, including basic equipment, a well-stocked pantry, a heart health and body mass index, and tips on how to read labels. This slim volume is essential for public libraries.--Debra Mitts Smith, Jamaica Plain, MA Copyright 2000 Cahners Business Information.
