This book has well over 200 recipes, which in today's world of printing is pretty substantial.

The book is divided into the following categories:

-Yeast Breads

-Quick Breads

-Cakes

-Cookies

-Pies

-Other Desserts

-Meatless Dishes and Meat Extenders

-Fish

-Chicken

-Beef

-Pork

-Lamb

-Vegetables

-Soups

-Miscellaneous (tofu salad dressings, tofu pimento cheese, tofu dip, tofu whipped cream, mustard sauce, tomato sauce (2 kinds), etc.

The menu options are the kind of foods, we grew up enjoying and in some cases, substitutions are offered in case you are allergic to a more common ingredient.

What I like most about the book is that the ingredient options aren't hard to find and don't cost an arm and a leg to purchase.

The book "cheated" in a few instances, as an example I saw wheat germ bread is included but if you have celiac disease or a wheat allergy there is a pretty good chance you won't want to eat this; however, if you are okay with arrowroot flour, rye or millet you can find a solution. Additionally, there were a couple of recipes with eggs and yogurt but considering the multitude of recipes you really can't get upset. Some of the recipes don't sound to exciting but I'm a bit picky.

I do intend to incorporate some of these items into my cooking as I like variety and I find this to be more comprehensive than many of these types of books available online or at a bookstore.
