BCE...The best cookbook EVER!,
By
This review is from: Best of the Best from America: Preserving Our Food Heritage One State at a Time (Best of the Best Cookbook) (Hardcover)
This is, by far, the best cookbook I have ever owned! I have tried many of the recipes in this book with outstanding results. The cookbook does not go on the shelf...it stays right out on my counter. The recipes are easy to follow and yummy. My husband and I have started to rate every new dish that I make from this cookbook on a scale of one to ten...and I write comments and possible modifications in the margins. It has become a real buddy and I look forward to trying something new. There is plenty to choose from. This would make a great gift...especially to a person who is not overly comfortable in the kitchen, LIKE ME! This is a purchase worth every penny!

3.0 out of 5 stars
This book has great potential but...,
By Donald Garcia (New Mexico) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Best of the Best from America: Preserving Our Food Heritage One State at a Time (Best of the Best Cookbook) (Hardcover)
This book presents a wide range of unpretentious recipes from across the U.S. It is something that could only have come from these two amazing women who have been to all these places and sampled a large variety of local foods. The story alone is enough to make it an good book; but one thing makes it an unexceptional cookbook - poor editing. For example, one recipe states to bake for a given time but gives no oven temperature. Another states to add cooked shrimp and then bake until the shrimp are cooked. With so many recipes, you will be sure to find ones that work just fine. However, it is disappointing that a book with so much potential is flawed by poor editing.

Over four hundred winners from over 2,600 cookbooks across the country,
By Midwest Book Review (Oregon, WI USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Best of the Best from America: Preserving Our Food Heritage One State at a Time (Best of the Best Cookbook) (Hardcover)
Best Of The Best From America Cookbook by Gwen McKee and Barbara Moseley represents the authors' travels across the country evaluating thousands of regional recipes. The result: over four hundred winners from over 2,600 cookbooks across the country. Arranged by state and including a centerfold of color photos charting their journey, Best Of The Best From America Cookbook includes such winners as St. Louis Favorite Salad with lettuces, artichokes, onion, and more; New Mexican Green Chile Pinwheels, and Oklahoma Pecan Pie. No color photos of finished dishes in either book; but most recipes are so simple, photos aren't needed.
