This is a wonderful cookbook for quick, easy, and DELICIOUS recipes. Great for company or family dinners. Ingredients are easy to find. I love this book.

This community cookbook has so many recipes that are easy, up-to-date, and ready for company. I have used this book, and it's companion...Main Line Classics many, many times. I love them both.

I have enjoyed preparing many of the recipes. Most are very easy to follow and the end results very tasty. The complete menus at the back of the book provide guidance when planning a dinner party. The fact that 100% of the proceeds from the sale of the cookbook is donated to the comunity makes this a favorite cookbook.

I had borrowed this cookbook from my sister-in-law, who had given me the original Main Line Classics that I absolutely love and was my "go to" cookbook. Was only going make a few notations/copies of things, but so many recipes looked good, I decided to buy it used through Amazon. Very happy I did, especially for the price of $4.00!

Every recipe I have tried from this cookbook is awesome. Chicken Marengo, Chicken On Tap, French Bread Souffle, etc. are dishes I have made for family and friends again and again - all with rave reviews. The cookbook has no pictures, which is strange for me, since I like to "see" the dish I am making, but regardless, I have followed the recipes with ease and this book has never let me down!

We have used this cookbook for years and continue to go back to it again and again for our favorite and new recipes alike. I'd recommend this to anyone who is looking for not-too-complicated recipes that are delicious! Favorites are the Red Snapper with Black Bean Salsa and the French Pepper Steak - two recipes we have made dozens of times.

I am just now learning to cook, and must admit that every single recipe I have tried in both Main Line Classics I and II have been delicious. Now even I can cook for my in-laws!!
