I love this cookbook. It's huge! I has tons of wonderful and delicious recipes. It's also a very attractive book and would make a wonderful gift. I use this cookbook regularly.

I was tired of always checking-out this cookbook at my local library, so I finally bought it! It's kind of my "fundamental" cook book. A true go-to for quick and simple, and reliable.

This book is so great there are abundance of economical meals that involve chicken with wine, chicken marsala, chicken orobianco, etc. I love how this book is partitioned in categories instead of random, the book is greatly detailed, my only gripe is there is not enough drawings and pictures to accompany the cookbook. I love the semisweet chocolate cake recipe, another gripe is that when there is a recipe for a frosting accompanied with a cake, they dont put the recipe on the same page, you have to skim to another page, but the navigation is easy. I give this book because of quantity and quality 5 stars.

This was purchased to replace a copy owned by my daughter--the previous copy was lost during a flood last year. She was thrilled that she was able to obtain another copy--many of her favorite and best recipes were in that book and she had been very unhappy at the loss of the one she had owned so long. A terrific cookbook!

the book had several old recipes that we had kept on tattered pages from the magazine for over 20 years. The books solved our problems. Great book.

I LOVE this cookbook. There are directions for everything you could think of to make, helpful tables on spices & herbs, substitutions, and good old-fashioned food. You most likely won't need to find a specialty market for these meals, and the punch recipes are very easy. There are no pictures, just pages & pages of food. Down-home cooking is what you get here, not gourmet fare.
