As a member in RED standing of the Divine Sisterhood of the Dancing Divas, Red Hat Society-- this is not only a great book about our group but an excellent multi-purpose cookbook as well. Some of the high points are a collection of the "Impossible" recipes using baking mix that are always easy and tasty. Additionally, a large section in the back is devoted to cooking for one or two and this is especially welcome. I tried about a half dozen recipes, each was easy to follow and turned out yummy. My only suggestion or comment is that the print is a little small, but that is simply to accomodate the large number of recipes included. A good addition to any cookbook collection and a charming gift for anyone.

First of all, this cookbook is just lovely. The pages are nice, clear, easy to read, and sprinkled with great stories about memorable meals and cooking disasters!

True to Red Hat Society spirit, the dessert section of the book comes first; all lesser items come second.

The book is large, with recipes that have been tested by ordinary women (is there really such a thing?) all over the world.

This cookbook will make a lovely and useful addition to every cook's collection!

This book is full of great recipes!!! They are easy to read and call for common ingredients!! It is a wonderful addition to any cook book collection!

This is an entertaining cookbook. In addition to some very interesting-sounding recipes, it contains humorous anecdotes about members of the Red Hat Society. I am anxious to try the recipe for Brown Bag Apple Pie, since it is the only recipe for piecrust that I've ever seen which uses Vegetable oil instead of butter or shortening. I have tried the Cheesy Meatloaf recipe and my husband said it was the best meatloaf he'd ever had.

If you're a cookbook enthusiast, this is a worthwhile addition to your collection.

I have so many cookbooks, that I sometimes see the same recipes over and over. This one has new and different recipes. I have already tried some, and look forward to trying many others. I love the chapter on tea time treats. It is a pretty book too! I love this one!

These recipes are tried and true. Many of them are in my personal recipe file. What's fun is finding them in various areas of the country and reading some of the comments made by the Ladies in Red! It's a fun, easy to follow cookbook. Not too challenging, and yet the recipes rate high in flavor and appearance. A must have cookbook, especially for the beginning chef!

Over a thousand recipes follow the credo 'if it's not delicious, we're not eating it!', and come from the experienced kitchens of the over-50 Red Hat Society ladies. Unlike most cookbooks, desserts begin the introduction with dishes ranging from a low-fat Lemon Icebox Pie to Spiced Eggnog Cheesecake and a moist Pink Lady Cake. Soups, breads, salads and main dishes follow in a celebration of food, easy preparations, and growing older with culinary taste in mind.

i am a military spouse so this book remind me of those military wife cookbook that we would combined recipes frm other spouses frm the bases we stationed at.there are so many recipes frm this book that i love n with the price i paid, its well worth it.so get one for yourself!!!!!

This is a nice BIG hard bound cookbook. I like it when I feel like I'm getting my moneys worth instead of some tiny book that costs way too much. If ya know what I mean. Fun reading, and nice recipes. I wouldn't call it a family cookbook. Probably most of the recipes are for get togethers. I'm still very happy with having it in my cookbook collection and I think it would make a great gift to any fellow Red Hatter, or Red Hat admirer- LOL.

I recently purchased this cookbook and I am very pleased with it. I love the fact that the first chapters in the book deal with dessert. I tried the White Russian cake the same day I received the book and have since made it again for a different group of people to rave reviews. I enjoy the theory behind the Red Hat Society and found this book to be a culmination of recipes from women who have been cooking for years and were willing to share their favorites with the rest of us. Bravo Ladies.
