...three 22-cent stamps for the same 66 cents. You can even get a book of 20 for $4.40 or a sheet of 100 for--you guessed it--$22.00. But you have to wait in line behind 15,000 people, each waiting to mail a box of lemon twists to their grandchildren in Tacoma, Washington...

...panels for each season are a few of Rosenzweig's most popular dishes for that time of year. Among her best: corn cakes with creme fraiche and caviars, chimney-smoked lobster, roast quail with savoy cabbage and kasha, wild mushroom tarts and such knockout desserts as macadamia nut tarts, lemon curd mousse and chocolate bread pudding.
