What a good book to own! -- Library Journal.
This excellent cookbook takes a down-to-earth approach to mastery of

Waldo's clear, thoughtful instructions, and the directions in any one of
her nearly 200 classically simple recipes, you can bring to your table
without trepidation a dazzling main-dish or dessert soufflé that will
rise splendidly to the occasion.
In The Soufflé Cookbook, Ms. Waldo, the celebrated author of many
bestselling cookbooks and travel guides, demystifies the soufflé and
places it within easy reach of cooks who may have been intimidated by
its unwarranted reputation for unpredictability. After carefully setting
down all the do's and don'ts, Ms. Waldo demonstrates persuasively how
simple it can be to turn your next soufflé into a triumph of taste,
texture, and timing.
And what moments of triumph await you in these pages! To such
irresistible staples as cheddar-cheese, chocolate, and liqueur soufflés,
Myra Waldo adds recipes for such intriguing variations as Fresh Salmon,
Finnan Haddie, Shrimp Jambalaya, Chicken Portugaise, Escoffier Duck, Ham
and Asparagus, and a splendid assortment of vegetable soufflés. Rounding
out this extraordinary cookbook, the author includes special sections on
low-calorie and cold soufflés, and recipes for 22 superlative soufflé
sauces. If you're looking for the perfect guide to the perfect soufflé,
you'll find The Soufflé Cookbook does this dish to a turn. -- Kirkus
