Searching for the perfect casserole that tastes just the way Mummy used to make it? With answers to all these questions and more The Preppy Cookbook will guide you step by step in creating a kitchen and a world that exemplifies the preppy lifestyle. This beautifully illustrated cookbook from Christine E. Nunn the owner of Picnic offers more than 125 perfectly tested recipes. Readers will not only delight their taste buds with mouthwatering photographs of summer Lobster Rolls and The Perfect Pot Roast but theyll also discover The Preppy Cookbook is a cheeky cover-to-cover read that is as witty as it is delicious. With droll but wise inflection Nunn shares time-honored traditions and cites proper blue-blood etiquette.

And gentlemen when cocktailing remember to bring a church key.
