I originally purchased a small, paperback copy of this cookbook back in the 1990's. I continue to use that cookbook to this day, but it has just fallen apart. I couldn't find one of our family's favorite recipes, Choco- Caramel Delights, to make them for Christmas, so I went online and to Ebay to find a copy. I am thrilled that I was able to find a hardback copy. The recipes, though not always easy, are so fabulous and special. So perfect for the holidays.......
