Great cookbook. I had bought the paper one, but traded it for this eBook. Not sure I like it this way, am trying to get used to the idea of having eBooks instead of real ones. The book itself is fantastic because it not only gives you recipes, but it has a glossary cross referencing what side goes with what type of main course. Really helpful for gatherings for me. --Oreganogrl
