Old Friend and often given as a gift,
By jloyd@ambrosi.com (Detroit & Chicago, USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Great Dinners from Life (Paperback)
When I started cooking McCalls and this book were the two I relied upon. Great Dinners especially offered information that really wasn't around much...how long was this feast going to take, what was the logical order and plan...and, especially, why this particular menu worked! Plus the photography was super.Since then I've given many copies of Great Dinners to seasoned cooks, newly weds and friends in other countries. Hope amazon.com can find copies for you too.

Phenomenal! Outstanding, fail-safe recipes and menus,
By A Customer
This review is from: Great Dinners from Life (Paperback)
When I first began working after college (early 80s), this was the cookbook everyone sought. I had quickly been established that it contained wonderful, varied, fail-safe recipes -- along with incredible menus, and explicit directions (including times) to enable even the newest cook to serve impressive, delectable dinners for the most discriminating palate.Although I have acquired well over a thousand cookbooks since that time, this remains one of my all-time favorites -- and, despite having become a vegetarian, there are still a large number of favorite recipes I still prepare from this book. I love it.

After 40 years and still going strong!,
This review is from: Great Dinners from Life (Paperback)
I bought this book shortly after it was published in 1969 and have been using it ever since. Except for references to "have your husband" do this and that, especially as I am the husband, it is an absolute classic. The recipes are as good today as they were then. Recently, I made a cassoulet from it, but before doing so I consulted no fewer than ten other recipes I have for this sumptuous dish. I decided to stay with Life magazine, and I was not disappointed.
