5.0 out of 5 stars step by step mistake proof recipes, April 14, 2007

By	H. Cauthen "Hal" (Virginia, USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Recently our daughter, now married with her own family, visited for a few days, and spent part of it copying recipes from our copy of the MacCall's Cook School cookbook. We've had it for years, and loved it from the first! The recipes are clear and simple, and with pictures of each step that take you thru the process of preparing the dish.
Karen asked if we could find her a copy, and I was delighted to find these available on Amazon.
Whether you are experienced or a 'newbie', you'll enjoy these 'mistake proof recipes'.

5.0 out of 5 stars The BEST!, March 17, 2007

By	RFN (NYC) - See all my reviews

Many moons ago, as a young bride, I discovered the McCall's Cooking School magazine in my local grocery store. Produced once a year, it contained fabulous recipes with step-by-step photographs and explicit directions. When a hard cover compilation came out a few years after my original purchase, I immediately acquired the book. My best recipes still come from this source and many, such has the Blintzes recipe, have become not only family favorites but also traditions.

I have given this book numerous times as a bridal gift and am always thanked profusely afterwards. Although now out of print, I am delighted to be able to find used copies through Amazon. I gave a copy to my son for his birthday and my mother and sister were so excited I had discovered a source for the publication that I ordered copies for their birthdays as well.

I cannot say enough good things about this book. If anyone at McCall's or Random House is reading this, may I suggest a revised version of the book that would include some of the recipes that were featured in subsequent magazine editions?
