I have 100's of cookbooks and I always refer to this one as my bible. The recipes are easy to understand, and most of the time quick to put together! I use this book for anything, for holiday dinners, company to everyday. My mom got everyone in the family this book when it first came out. My kitchen was flooded and this is one of the books I lost and the only book my mom & I looked high and low to find and did on your web site. I am now getting the bible for my daughter who just moved on her own and has started her own collection of cookbooks, this one is her first request. This book is a must for every kitchen.

I use this book above all others for get-togethers, last minute dishes, and dinners. I would love to purchase this book for my sister-in-law! She bought me this cookbook as a gift a few years ago and I'd like to give her a copy too. I have not found a recipe yet that my family hasn't LOVED! Please reprint this cookbook!

I'm a French and I was looking for a cookbook easy to read because I'm not familiar with american recipes ( and I'm not fluent in english). This one is very complete and easy to do, I even find some french recipes! I think I will use it a lot and bring it back to France, it will complete my collection of french cookbooks. It's pretty amazing to find a cookbook where all the recipes are good and easy, and you can do lot of them with the same king of food or sauces, you don't have to buy 25 different spices for one recipe! It's a very good cookbook (my husband is agree with me!)and now I can really make dinners!

This book has a good variety of dishes to choose from. They are easy to prepare and most don't require a lot of preparation time. Every thing from the main dishes to the desserts are delicious. Even though every recipe has a name brand ingredient, store brands work just as well in their place.

I thought the above comment was absolutely ridiculous. What people want to know is if this is a good cookbook. I don't think anyone is interested in if brand names are going to be the future of culinary arts. Broken down: good recipes, use generic if you are opposed to "brand names." The recipes range from fast and tasty to complicated and savory. I love this cookbook.

This is the most fantastic cookbook! I love all the pictures and I've tried many of the recipes. Someone has "borrowed" my copy and never returned it. Amazon was my last hope. Please put this book back into print!

I have owned this book for years now and have never made anything from it that was not yummy!! I usually ignore the actual brand names and just use the brand that I like or that I feel is the best quality. My mother and sister also own this book and they both love it, too.

Recently while pondering over dinner ideas a co-worker said she had the answer and indeed she did. The next day she brought in her FAVORITE BRAND NAME COOKBOOK, and after skimming through it I realized I had to get my hands on one. The easy to follow reciepts made it very user friendly and all the ingredients needed were right in my cabinets. The one dish reciepts were quick and simple too. The unfortunate thing is I am unable to get one of my own, I have looked everywhere and have had no luck and my co-worker is not willing to sell hers so please REPRINT THE BEST COOKBOOK EVER ASAP!!!!

This cookbook has been a lifesaver for me. I'm a college student and I love to cook. There's a recipe for whatever you have in your refrigerator or freezer. This book covers everything! What I really like about it is the mouth-watering pictures. People are more prone to try a recipe if it has a picture. Every household needs to have a copy of this book. Another book I would highly recommend is "Campbell's Quick and Easy Recipes" especially for people on the go.

I am a Husband of a Wife who loves this book. I am the recipient of some awesome meals my wife has prepared with the help of this book. Unfortunatly the copy she has, she borrowed. I have just placed an order. My wife does not cook often but, it seems that the book is the reason. So shes getting one with my Love. In my humble opinion there is no better cook book. The meals created from this are as good or better than any you would find in a 4 star restaurant .
