5.0 out of 5 stars The best cookbook I've ever seen., November 22, 2000

By A Customer

P-p-p-please reprint! I also received this with an LA times subscription... It's a wonderful collection of outstanding recipes. I remember an "offbeat chicken salad" that was THE BEST SALAD I EVER HAD, and was actually GOOD for you! Also, a potluck just isn't a potluck without that amazing pumpkin bread... If heaven has a taste... I've tried other recipes with varying success, but a remarkable half of these are mainstay "keepers" for any recipe collection. Everyone will find something they love.

5.0 out of 5 stars Favorite cookbook, February 29, 2004

By A Customer

I like many others got this cookbook as a freebe for a subscription. I have used it constantly since 1983, so much so the pages have turned yellow & are starting to get loose in the book. It is probably the best cookbook I have ever had & would love to buy one for my daughter, now that she is out on her own. I no longer live in So Calif, but find each recipe interesting with the little blurps they give on the background of each recipe.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Gift From brother, Joe, December 27, 2001

By	virginia sandoval "furface46" (USA) - See all my reviews

I really love this book. I owned it and it wasa gift from my brother, Joe, many years ago. I've used the recipes many times! The sugar cookie recipe is the best ever and the pumpkin bread recipe is also. This year, 2001, I just cannot find it, I misplaced it when we redid our living room. I am so mad and sad, but happy I found it here at amazon. I made the sugar cookies anyway, from another cookbook, but they were just not the same.
