This book is a wonderful collection of tried and true recipes collected from Canada and the United States. I purchase one issue (part of the 3) and have used it as my main source for successful meals. (It is my most worn and spattered book). It was recently that I decided to purchase the combined book. I have served many of the recipes to family and friends and have found everyone copying down recipes. From excellent seafood to fabulous vegitarian and multicultural dishes, this book is a treasure.

I've owned this entire set including the simmering suppers for 10 years. As a mom with 4 kids and crazy jobs it has saved me repeatedly. Everything is excellent and ingredients that most people have in the pantry. I love the comments by the recipe authors that precede the recipes. I feel like I am sharing recipes and not just using another cookbook. It's primary success though, remains the excellence of the recipes. Also, the index is arranged so you can find a meal by ingredient or title. I own dozens of cookbooks and if I had to choose only one to keep it would be this one. HAPPY COOKING!

I love this book and have given one to both of my daughters. It has hundreds of great recipes that have a short list of ingredients and are easy to prepare. Because it is a Canadian cookbook, it has many great old Canadian recipes which bring back a lot of childhood memories.

I had volume 1 and 2 in the soft cover of this book. I used them so much that they fell apart. This book had 3 volumes and I love it so much. The recipes are down to earth and don't have alot of weird ingredients.

I originally bought this cookbook when it was published in three volumes. I bought the volumes one by one as they came out, years and years ago. I still have those and still use them. But now we have a cottage and I missed Harrowsmith dreadfully, but didn't want to take my originals there. So have just purchased the one volume edition and I'm happy once more.

Really, this is the most practical, commonsensical, delicious cookbook ever! Ask my husband and kids!

I have had the 3 different volume of this book for years now....I was so glad to see they are all in one book now.......They have wonderful recipes....I can honestly say the only bad ones I have tried have only been rather bland.....and that is only a few of the many many ones I have used, and now use regularly. It is a great gift too. It has recipes for game also if you are into that....a friend tells me it is so hard to find something different to use venison etc. in. Worth every cent and more.

WOWZERS, If you only need one recipe book in your lifetime,.. this is it!. This brilliant hardbound book ( Be it VERY heavy!), is the most comprehensive, informative, detailed, one i have ever come across, & i have had many a cook book!... It is FULL to its binder, brimming with traditional recipes, some with modern twists, some true to the original, secrets have most definitely been shared for this one!, Every recipe seems to have been tried many a time, with great success each & every round!!. I too have had brilliant results with each recipe i have tried so far. Easy to follow recipes & ingredient lists, no fancy chef talk, just simple every day kitchen talk here! A MUST for every home. This would make a perfect wedding gift for the couples first home, they will never need for another cookbook again!. Hugely recommend this one.

The must-have cookbook basics. Comfort food and lots, lots more. I'm so happy to have this.
