She has studied cooking in America, the U.K. and France, and blends American cuisine with that of Europe in a most au courant fashion. From appetizers like Smoked Salmon Roulade with Onion Cream, Lentil Salad, and Dill and Lemon Dressing, to such entr es as Risotto with Roasted Radicchio and Toasted Pine Nuts, or Flank Steak in Spicy Southwest Marinade, to simple concepts like Marilyn's Chicken Salad, her recipes are lucidly explained. Harris's tone is relaxed and encouraging, like the best of teachers. ( June)
