2129.0. "BOOK: New Silver Palate" by SALEM::SILVERIA () Thu Nov 30 1989 13:10

    I heard that my sister is looking for the new Silver Palate cookbook
    (I guess a new one *just* came out?).  I saw it briefly in softcover
    but didn't catch the name.
    
    Does anyone know the name?  If it's available in hardcover?  Has
    anyone seen it for a reasonable price in southern NH?
    
    Thanks if you an help - it will be one more Christmas present taken
    care of!!

2129.1Great Gift!!SELL3::ELKINSThu Nov 30 1989 15:0011

    I have the previous version, and love it!!  The books are called The 
    Silver Palate Cookbooks.  I believe the new ones sell in a set of two 
    books, and I believe it only comes in soft copy.  
              
    What a wonderful gift!!
    
    Good luck!

2129.2The New Basics from Silver PalateAKOV12::DUGDALEFri Dec 01 1989 08:4711
    The new Silver Palate is called something like "The New Basics."  I
    don't think it is available in hardcover.  I bought one for a Christmas
    present at The Toadstool Bookshop in Milford, NH (near the new Shaw's)
    last week.  The list price is $19.95, but it is about 3 inches thick. 
    
    It looks pretty good, but I haven't really spent alot of time going
    through it -- after all I don't want it to look used!  However, I did
    hint to my husband that it might not be a bad thing to find in my
    stocking.

2129.3it is available in hardcoverSME::ELBEERYSusan Elbeery DTN 381-0561Fri Dec 01 1989 09:135
I saw the book in at least two bookstores in hardcover, for ~29.95.
I *think*, but can't recall for sure, that I saw it in Booksmith in
the Pheasant Lane Mall (in hardcover, that is).

2129.4When is the silver palate not the silver palate?BANZAI::FISHERPat PendingFri Dec 01 1989 14:008
    It has a cover format that looks like the Silver Palate but does not
    say Silver Palate.  In the introduction it explains how and why the
    authors sold "The Silver Palate" and how they got to "The New Basics."
    
    I think it will still forever be known as "The Silver Palate
    Basics-whatever" which should help it sell.
