4.0 out of 5 stars Veggie Cheese Pie, December 31, 2001

This review is from: Mom's Updated Recipe Box (Paperback)

The recipe for Veggie Cheese Pie calls for 1/2 cup salt. Try 1/2 teaspoon. Other than this misprint I have enjoyed this recipe book. Great for beginners.

This review is from: Mom's Updated Recipe Box: 300 Family Favorites Made Quick and Healthy (Paperback)

We've tried over 20 of the recipes to date and have liked all but two of them. I like to try one new recipe out of this book each week. Some of my favorite recipes thus far are: Calico Beans, Hamburger Soup, Roast Pork with Red Cabbage and Apples, Chicken Breast with Sherry-Sour Cream Sauce, Buttermilk Baking Powder Biscuits, and Oatmeal Cherry Muffins. I like to cook, but do not often add to my collection of cookbooks. After borrowing this one from the library several times I finally decided it was worth owning. I highly recommend this cookbook; in my mind it ranks with Joy of Cooking for utility.
