As a collector of cookbooks (more than 600 titles) with an emphasis on the "Junior League" books, this is one of my all-time favorites. I have tried many, many recipes and they are all great. I found lots of "different" recipes that were simple to make and tasted great. Definitely add this one to your collection.

I love this cookbook. It is one of my favorites - I've never been disappointed with any recipe I have tried. The design is aesthetically pleasing, the facts about Cincinnati are interesting (and I lived there for four years), and the Teller's House Salad can't be beat. I've bought this cookbook at least five times for friends and family and will continue to do so. My only complaint ... where is volume 2?? :-)

The cookbook has never failed me. I have given it to several people as a gift and they also raved about it. Has both simple and complex recipes. Also need tidbits about Cincinnati in the margins.

I have to say that I was on the "testing and planning" committee for this cookbook and I can't be happier reading everyone's reviews. Over 600 recipes were triple-tested in order to get the ones for this volume. I have used it over and over for gatherings and meals for my family. I'm always pleased with each recipe. It has something for everyone and the history about Cincinnati is wonderful. It makes a great gift for someone!!

this cookbook has a wonderful variety of great, elegant, and easy recipes for casual entertaining with friends and families. i happen to love cookbooks, and this is a wonderful addition to my collection.

Used to live in Cinci and this book brought back great memories. Good recipes and great anecdotes. Gave this as a gift, (after I quickly read it). The recipes for the Chili,among others and the restaurants make a great read. Would recommend this book to everyone.

Not so impressed, I was expecting a lot more interesting recipes than deviled eggs, and barbeque popcorn mix, and cranberry salad, to name a few of the dull recipes in this cookbook. This is a cookbook, I will never use. Before you spend the money for this uninspired book, buy instead Carmine's Family Cookbook

I was sooo! disappointed with this book. I gave it as a Christmas present to four of my children. Was expecting a good portion to be simple common recipes that were common in Cincinnati. Out of about 300 pages, I would probably try maybe 10 of the recipes.
