Not that simple stupid!!,

This review is from: The Good Housekeeping Illustrated Cookbook: America's Bestselling Step-by-Step Cookbook, with More Than 1,400 Recipes (Paperback)
I've had this book since college. It was the required book for my cooking class. And years later I have collected many other cookbooks, but I always find myself going back to Good Housekeeping. And the main reason is... new books appear to rely on the concept of "KISS - Keeping It Simple Stupid." But if your purpose is to create a memory of home cooking, keeping it simple just doesn't cut it. The other day I was searching recipes for cheesecakes. The Good Housekeeping had about 4 more ingredients than others provided. And I feel the reason is we're so stuck on shortcuts. If you want to "wow" people... simplicity wont' do it.

My parents had this book when I was growing up (hardcover) and I had to get it when I saw it on here one day. I love all of the pictures and ideas. I like how it goes from telling you how to make something basic like hamburgers or eggs and then something more challenging. I love that it talks about meal planning and place setting. It's perfect for someone just starting out and they won't get board with it. I just picked one of these up for my new sister in law since she admired mine so much. I will be handing mine down to my daughter with all of my notes and dog ears! :o)

My whole family envies my cookbook!,
By Happy Mother "a." (usa) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Good Housekeeping Illustrated Cookbook: America's Bestselling Step-by-Step Cookbook, with More Than 1,400 Recipes (Paperback)
I managed to find this cookbook for a few dollars at a book fair. What an incredible find it was. Every single recipe has a full-color illustration, which is very important to me so I can compare my finished product and see if I did it right! There are recipes that will suit everyone, from very simple to challenging. It's really a fantastic book, and everything I've made using it has turned out incredibly delicious.
