5.0 out of 5 stars I have hundreds of cookbooks, this one ranks in the top 10., April 18, 1998

C. Gaddis "Tinysmom" (Provo, UT) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)

This review is from: Jim Fobel's Old-Fashioned Baking Book: Recipes from an American Childhood (Paperback)

I have this book in hardback. I have made at least 30 of the recipes from it and not once had a failure. I now bake pies exclusively from this book. I love the notes Mr. Fobel writes about the history of each beloved recipe. The books introduction makes facinating reading too. Great!

This review is from: Jim Fobel's Old-Fashioned Baking Book: Recipes from an American Childhood (Paperback)

I bought this book several years ago and still use it weekly. It is my absolute favorite cookbook! The recipes are easy to use and kid friendly. My entire family loves the sweet treats I bake using Fobel's recipes. What a wonderful cookbook. Thanks for sharing Jim!

5.0 out of 5 stars Classic desserts, July 31, 2001

By A Customer

This review is from: Jim Fobel's Old-Fashioned Baking Book: Recipes from an American Childhood (Paperback)

What makes this book special? That you can find there many of the specialties of American Baking. Instructions are clear and recipes fantastic. However, don't expect to find sophisticated desserts (I thought so). This book is for everyday baking. Perhaps you can adapt some of the recipes for special occasion, but this book will be your everyday baking guide.
