5.0 out of 5 stars My favorite book, October 26, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: Favorite Recipes from Quilters (Paperback)

Honest to God, the best cookbook I have seen. I enjoy just sitting down and reading it, that's how good the recipes are. I have made several items from this book and really enjoyed them. The recipes are for simple, homey, comfort food and are easy to make without relying on expensive, uncommon ingredients. There are truly so many recipes in each category it is easy to find one that will suit my mood.

I liked this book so much, I gave it to 2 of my friends as wedding shower gifts and I recomended it to another friend; she bought it and loves it.

If you like gourmet, fancy or low-fat food, do not buy this book. If you like good food that is not hard to make and will get a lot of compliments, buy this book.

5.0 out of 5 stars best all around cookbook. Much better than betty crocker, August 19, 1999

This review is from: Favorite Recipes from Quilters (Paperback)

When my mother first read this cookbook, a friend of mine had brought it over to the house. She liked it so much because it had the receipes she remembered from growing up. She offered to buy it right from my friend. My mother was visiting my house at the time, and I have refused to let it leave my house since. Guess what she will be getting for christmas? Her own NEW copy =)

By far and away the VERY BEST COOKBOOK EVER. The recipes are simple, basic and absolutely delicious. I received this book as a shower gift 7 years ago and it's my go-to cookbook whenever I need a failsafe recipe. I have so much confidence in this book, I don't think twice about trying a new recipe for guests, since I know it's going to be delicious and turn out perfect. This book has never failed me. You can find the ingredients at any grocery store (nothing too fancy). People rave about the food this book turns out! Tasty tasty.
