Criticism.

Just as Mrs. Whaley so eagerly searched in her

new cookbook, I hope you enjoy searching the
table of contents and leafing through these pages
for your own favorites. Whether you use them as a
quick energy snack before a rehearsal or sit down
to a full course, I am sure this book will tickle your
taste buds and stick to your ribs.
