I have had this book for about 3 years now. I have tried at least 50% of the recipes, and never had a bad outcome! I rate this book in my top 10 collection of cookbooks! I use it at least once a week! Getting kind of dog eared now. Great recipes and great value.

We have found so many tasty and easy recipes in this collection. From the Meatloaf, to the Potato Soup, to the Whoppie Pies... We could go on and on. All the ingredients you will generally have on hand. Simply the BEST.

I have purchased 7 of these books to give as gifts. Everyone who recieved one loved it. The pies, casseroles and soups will please everyone you serve.

Have enjoyed the easy to follow, tasty recipes repeatedly over the past 5 years. Especially like the soups! If you're seeking a good all-around basic 'down home' cookbook...this is a good one!

Down-to-earth recipes, with easy to follow directions, have made this cookbook one of my favorites. No fancy names or haute cusine -- just good home cooking. Perfect for those who have a "meat and potatoes" family like mine.

I love this cookbook! It has simple, delicious recipes presented in an easy to read format. A plethora of hearty dishes awaits you, including a great section on soups. There is even a recipe for homeade root beer! I would recommend this cook book for anyone who likes classic American dishes and desserts made with easy to find ingredients.

I just received this book today, so am recording my first impression after leafing through the book. Half of it is devoted to desserts! I'm disappointed with that aspect, as I was looking for good plain cooking re: meats, vegetables, etc. If anyone can suggest a "down-home" cookbook concentrating on those, I'd love to hear it! I do look forward to trying some of the recipes here!

This is a great cookbook. It reminds me of the home-style cooking in my mother's 1950's Betty Crocker cookbook. The recipes are not fancy and stylish...they are homey and comforting.

I received this cookbook as part of a gift basket I won in a raffle. My family has tried several of the recipes in it and have yet to be disappointed. The beef stew is absolutely wonderful! My wife and daughter both check this cookbook first for recipes before they look anywhere else.

This is my favorite cookbook of all time. The recipes are easy to follow, use easily found ingredients and are filled with wholesome goodness. The larger portion recipes can easily be cut down to size. I have never made a dish, bread, cookie, etc., from this cookbook that hasn't been met with rave reviews. This is a must have addition to your cookbook gallery.
