1. Fresh Every Day
Sara Foster
If anything, Sara Foster's new book is even better than her first, (The
Foster's Market Cookbook $53.00). Like Ina Garten and Martha Stewart
(for whom she was a chef in the catering operation), Foster's brilliance is in
refreshing the familiar while remembering when to leave well-enough alone-witness
her mother's recipes for apple cobbler with buttermilk biscuit topping and pot
roast. Colour photos Hardcover, 287 pp, $50.00.

salad and simple rhubarb tart are a few of the recipes that will have you reaching
for this book again and again. Colour photos. Hardcover, 192 pp, $49.95.
