A write-up about the book by Nancy Durnford appeared in the Table Talk section of The Gazette on 18 November 1983: 

First same Hors d'Oeuvres, then Desserts.

Now we get the complete picture with Main Courses etc. etc. etc, a new cookbook from the Auxiliary of Sir Mortimer B. Davis Jewish General Hospital.

Despite its simple title, the book contains some offbeat as well as classic recipes - all prepared without the help of canned soup - and is complete with index, equivalent metric measures and menu suggestions.

Produced from the recipes files of auxiliary members, Main Courses includes meat, fish, poultry and pasta dishes, some casseroles plus soups, salads, sauces and even some desserts.

Every clearly marked section includes current food favorites plus intriguing dishes from Asia, Europe, and the Middle East.

Like the auxiliary's first two books, recipes for Main Courses have been thoroughly tested and organized by the editors, Julie Rosen and Lucy Wolkove.

The book costs $9.95 at the hospital gift shop, 3755 Cote St. Catherine Rd.
