This book has some great ideas on how to tailor your mixes to your own tastes and gives you a chance to control what additives you are adding to your diet. Takes the mystery out of things like biscuit mix and brownie mix.

It makes fun reading even if you don't cook and the ratgirl's salsa recipe is very fast and easy. You can expand on the recipes and make them your own.

I think it's great for those on a fixed income who would like to save a little money on convenience items. It's also great fun to mix up your own mixes and be able to use them anytime. It saves time as well as money.

A practical addition to your cookbook collection, for anyone interested in saving time and money. Howard's hunorous asides make cooking fun in more ways than one.

I have been using Ben Howards book for over 4 years. I am amazed at the content and my ability to adapt recipes to my own style of cooking. It's fabulous for people who need to get the garbage out of their diets and it's excellent for childrens diets. Some recipes that include sugar can use fructose instead without any change in flavor. I especially like the homemade pudding recipe and the homemade pancake mix!! Who needs preservatives. This book has paid for itself many times over!

This is a basic mix cookbook but within the pages you will find recipes for making pudding mixes, salad dressings, dairy products and meats. Some of the mixes are super easy such as the pudding mix with variations while the dairy making sections takes a bit longer.
