The majority of the 1,000 recipes are neither new nor wildly original, but there are many cooks looking for such favorites as caponata, huevos rancheros, Christmas roast goose, toad in the hole, paella, pommes Anna, challah, and key lime pie. Turn here, too, for an excellent grasp of cookery organization. The know-how section spotlights certain techniques and provides general instructions for microwaving, freezing, and storage. Streamlining dishes for time and convenience is also discussed. Barbara Jacobs
