Usually domestic goddesses write the cookbooks. Here, a goddess is the not the author but the inspiration. This book is an ode to the Greek enchantress Circe. The book is geared towards white-collar females who wish to seduce and charm their co-workers: time and budget are of utmost consideration here. Recipe titles all are derived from Homer’s epics. (Chicken Scylla, Buffet Electra, Gateau Menelaus, etc.) Book is nearly entirely illustrated, in color. Rare in jacket.
