This review is from: The Mount Vernon Cookbook (Plastic Comb)

I love cookbooks like this, because people have sent in their best stuff - favorite recipes that have been tested and tried. It is a good start for a cookbook collection, since it has many popular favorites in it. A lot of the recipes in this cookbook are very easy, so this is a great beginners' book, many of them rely on premade or canned stuff, which bothers me a bit as a buy-and-make-fresh-purist, but especially for the beginner cook on a shoestring budget, there are many good recipes. The cookbook has no pictures that are recipe-related, but the instructions are generally phrased very well. Some of the more elaborate ones do require some experience and knowledge - I know that a friend of mine had some trouble reproducing the custard, never having made a custard before.
