5.0 out of 5 stars At 9PM you're eating the fish..., 28 Feb 1998
By A Customer
This is one of the best books I have ever bought! As a long time fan of the TITANIC and an amateur cook I could not resist this book; despite the tragic fact that the LAST DINNER ON THE TITANIC was literally the LAST meal of over 1,500 men women, and children.

Despite that chilling touch, this is a wonderful book, and the food is fantastic! The book is lavishly illustrated, and I was a bit reluctant to take such a lovely book into the kitchen and risk a spill, although I'm very glad I did! The binding is such that it lies flat on my counter, and the pages don't turn themselves or snap shut 1/2 way through a recipie, (This is a VERY important feature in a cookbook!). Its type is a bit smaller than I like in a cookbook, but is still large and clear enough that I can read the recipies while cooking.

The recipies themselves are some of the easiest to follow and most clearly written I have encountered. I really enjoyed cooking the Chicken Lyonnaise and the Lamb with Mint Sauce; and they came out sucessfuly the first time too! (If you knew my cooking ability that is quite a tribute to the recipie!) Most of the dishes also seem to be relatively "idiot proof" (perhaps because the White Star Chefs had to turn out several hundred servings of each during the course of the evening??) though there is plenty to challenge the more experienced chef's as well, such as Lobster Thermidor, and Minted Green Pea Timbales. I have been very happy with everything I have cooked from the book so far.

Menus for Third, Second, and First Class (as well as the First Class Ala Carte Resturant) are all included, as are tips for hosting a TITANIC themed dinner party. The authors discuss the flowers and fruit baskets that seem to have been omnipresent (at least in first and second class), suggest wines to be served with each course, and even provide tips on what music to play at the party! (Suprisingly though the authors failed to mention the new RHINO CD from Ian Whitcomb and The White Star Orchestra "TITANIC: Music As Heard on the Fateful Voyage.")

One of the best features of the book is the Make Ahead Chart for the 1st Class Menu. Thanks to this chart, a reasonably competent chef can bring virtually all of the dishes to an almost compleat state well before the dinner is due to start. This means you can cook most of the dinner in the morning and afternoon, take your lady friend to the movie in the early evening, and still be able to serve her an authentic (and reasonably compleat) TITANIC dinner for a late supper. (How's THAT for a romantic evening?)

If there is a 2nd edition I would hope that the authors would include some of the other recipies that are mentioned on the surviving TITANIC menus (especially the "Swedish Bread" and other items from the breakfast menu). I would urge everyone interested in Cooking, the TITANIC, or romance to BUY THIS BOOK!

5.0 out of 5 stars This book was useful and interesting., 7 Mar 1999
By A Customer
I have been studing the TITANIC since the second grade. I found the this book useful and interesting, in the way of preparing period food.I owe the great success of my re-creation dinner for fifteen people. This book helped me ,and my friends, to revise and shorten the menu, from the original 11 course menu shown in the book! All the period etiquette, table settings, and dress pointers and tips were great in re-creating the period feel of the Last Dinner on the TITANIC. Out of all my books in my TITANIC collection, this one is one of my favorites.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent book with fascinating facts and delicious recipes, 28 Feb 1998
By A Customer
This book was given to me as joke because I am so fascinated with the Titanic. We soon discovered that this book was more than just a recipe book. It is history book combined with a recipe book. The book is so good that I keep reading it over and over again. What impressed me the most was that the movie Titanic referred to a lamb with mint sauce dinner and that is actually in the book! I was amazed. I totally recommend this book for anyone who is an avid cook and is fascinated with the RMS Titanic!
