5.0 out of 5 stars Great Buy, February 12, 2000

By	J. A. Stauffer (Moscow, Pennsylvania) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This kind of cookbook is great for anyone! I have an older wornout version of this cookbook and was looking for a new one that would be SIMPLE, HAVE ALOT OF PICTURES, HAVE OLD TESTED AND TRIED RECIPES, and HAVE NEW ONES. This is that kind of cookbook! There were two recipes I have been looking for, for years and they are both in this book!

5.0 out of 5 stars Where's the cheese?, February 20, 2000

By A Customer

I love this cookbook, but this revision is missing a few things I liked from the older ones. One is the cheese pages, one thing I love about the red plaid book is that is shows indiviual photographs of different types of pastas, herbs, beans and rice etc. But this version does not have the cheese. There were also a few other things missing I liked from my older book like seasoning guide, and also special techniques. Maybe some of these things are there and I just have not found them yet. Of course there are great additions to the book besides the old recipes section. I like the info on new foods and ethnic foods.

5.0 out of 5 stars This is my cooking Bible, August 7, 2000

By	Stephanie Manley (Houston, TX) - See all my reviews (TOP 500 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)

This is a fantastic cookbook. Recipes are easy to follow. They make suggestions for changing up the recipe slightly. The directions are clear, and easy to follow. Book has many pictures which is wonderful. I have actually had several editions of this book as they do change them every few years. The section in the back of older recipes is great. I highly recommend this book to anyone learning to cook!
