4.0 out of 5 stars Where's The simplicity for "New"lyweds?, February 6, 2004

By A Customer

This review is from: The Newlywed Cookbook (Paperback)

Although this book has some great ideas, I don't find it very helpful for newlyweds just beginning on the journey to a new life, whom may need some simple recipes for starting out. These can be complicated at times. The name and a few recipes referring to candlelight meals you may wish to take time to do is about the only thing that puts this book into the gift category if anyone is looking for that special cookbook to give to Newlyweds. I also recommend "Honeymooner's Cookbook" and it's a more practical approach for newlyweds because the recipes are quite simple yet some very elegant to serve by candlelight. Also it has special features such as a cute recipe pocket & tabbed dividers that are simply pretty, tons of tips too on the back of each one to make things a little easier around the kitchen and whole house. With a nice custom designed cover, even a Wedding bouquet on the back cover, I would suggest it along with this cookbook or by itself.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great Beginner Book!, January 12, 2001

By A Customer

This review is from: The Newlywed Cookbook (Paperback)

I purchased this book for a friend of mine who was getting married. The book was simple yet it covered all subjects that a person who has little to no experience can understand. The recipes are mainly cooking for 2 recipes. The best part about this book is the fact that the author covers important firsts, like the oh so scary Thanksgiving turkey dinner etc.. It's a must have for new brides with little cooking experience.

5.0 out of 5 stars Fantastic cookbook!, January 14, 2002

By A Customer

This review is from: The Newlywed Cookbook (Paperback)

My mother gave this to me after my wedding and I love it! The recipes are great -- most recipes use ingredients I already have in the house or can easily substitute. It is also great that the recipes are often geared to smaller numbers of servings -- two to four people, for example. I also appreciate the clear instructions and lists of required ingredients and supplies for each recipe.
