The Loaves and Fishes Party Cookbook
The Pumps (mother and daughter) run a gourmet shop/catering business on Long Island; this successor to Anna Pump's The Loaves and Fishes Cookbook (Macmillan, 1987) offers seasonal menus for special occasions, with advice on party planning and advance preparation. The recipes are fine, but there are already a lot of good books of this type, such as Susan Wyler's Cooking for a Crowd ( LJ 4/15/88) and Moira Hodgson's Keeping Company ( LJ 9/15/88). Still, the popularity of Anna Pump's earlier Loaves and Fishes Cookbook is likely to ensure some demand.Copyright 1990 Reed Business Information, Inc.
