5.0 out of 5 stars A book I refer to again and again, November 9, 2002

I have had this book for years and am still using it regularly. I have been making my own tarter sauce, frozen lemonade, spice mixes, etc. and they are superior to store bought. It also comes in handy when you've run out of something while cooking...like brown sugar or baking powder, just whip up your own. And you can save money on expensive ingredients like almond paste, sweetened condensed milk, ricotta cheese or vanilla extract. It is so extensive, I find more and more things in it I want to try, each time I look through it. A can't miss for the do-it-yourselfer.

I love this book. I copy my first copy back in 1980 and used it to make my son's baby food, barbeque sauce, doughnuts, and all sorts of other stuff. I would like to get another copy since I can't find mine.

If you want to feed your family a healthier diet with no preservatives and dyes, then this is the cookbook for you. It takes some time to prepare, but once completed, you can have the convenience of rezer-to-oven dinners, baking mixes and breakfast cereals ready in your pantry. I used this book when I still had a family at home and I loved it. Just about any recipe you can think of is in this book from baby food to bakery goods, sausages, pickles, chesse, jams and even health and beauty aids. This cook book has it all.
