Each little town has probably put out a small cookbook sometime, Best Loved Community Recipes highlights the tastiest.

You'll find tried and true favorites along with new twists on old recipes. Eggplant Appetizers, Mary's Cheeseball, and Mini Calzones could spice up a gathering.

If you need a good basic recipe like Caramel Corn, Oatmeal Bread, or Hot Cross Buns- this is your cookbook.

From muffins to rolls, cookies, cakes and pies, you'll find what you need. Try the delicious Apple Dessert Pancake, I served it for dinner one night with rave reviews!

Grand recipes for fish and seafood as well as meats, pizzas and noodle dishes fill the 464 pages.

Do yourself or someone else a favor and add this cookbook to your collection. Your crew will thank you time and time again.

I lost my copy of this cookbook way back in 1995, and have been heartbroken over it's loss ever since, and have not stopped looking to replace it. When I got my computer and tried looking for it at Amazon.com, lo and behold, there it was! I immediately ordered another copy, and also ordered the Vol II book as well. If you are a busy woman, who likes delicious food that is easy to prepare and always a hit with picky eaters of all ages, this is the book for you!

I found the book to be informative, entertaining and full of marvelously diverse recipes! The "chefs" were eager to share their offerings in an easy-to-follow and well-written manner. It is possible to set a table for 2 to 200 using this book. A most welcome and well-used addition to my collection!

A coworker and I both have this book. We have yet to try a recipe we did not like. She bought one for her step daughter and daughter-in-law who also love the book. The recipes are easy and can be used for every day or special cooking

As soon as I took the books out their package I knew I would love them, and as soon as I started to turn each page, I was so amazed at the quality of the book. I highly recommend it. It is packed with beautiful pictures and excellent recipes. I bought this book after reading other reviews about them. I purchased Vol.I,II. Both are amazing and are my favorite cookbooks so far. Now I am going to purchase both for my mother-in-law for Mother's Day!

This is by far my favorite cookbook. It is wonderfully laid out, and every recipe I've tested has been wonderfully delicious. Every friend I've lent it to has gone out and bought their own copy, after deciding that they'd like copies of more than half the recipes!!! Every recipe has a finished product picture, complete list of ingredients in a sidebar, step-by-step instructions with pictures if anything is unclear, as well as tips and tricks (e.g. if something can be done ahead of time)

It's not like the type of cookbooks where you can look up a chocolate chip cookie recipe and make it... but I've made approximately 15% of the recipes so far and loved each one. I highly recommend Better Home and Gardens America's Best-Loved Community Recipes Volume I and II. My favorite recipes are in Volume I, though it's somewhat difficult to find. Also, don't loan this out, I've had to buy another copy of Volume II because my first one was borrowed and never returned.

After having just commented on a dud crock pot cookbook in which I mention my favorite American cookbook, THIS ONE!, :) I had to leave a review for it. I have never made a bad meal from this, a gift from my sister-in-law, 19 years ago. Some of my favorite recipes from this book include Beef Stroganoff, Peach Cobbler, and the one that has become a family tradition during the holidays...Carrot Soup. I highly recommend this book.
