5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent "basic" cookbook, October 26, 1998

By A Customer

I received this book as a gift about 15 years ago & it is by far my most often used. It was originally copyrighted in 1901 & has been revised many times, however many of the recipes still appear as they did then. Recipes range from the very simple (scrambled eggs or grilled cheese sandwiches) to exotic (Fondue Bourguignonne). It will take you from breakfast to an after dinner cordial - all from scratch. Recipes are easy to follow. Basic equivalents (i.e.2.20 pounds = 1 kilo) & substitutions make converting any recipe easy. And it contains much more than just recipes. There are menu planning ideas, freezing, canning & dehydrating charts, special diet recipes, & even a stain removal guide! This is a great book for the beginning cook or someone that needs a bit of everything all in one place.

5.0 out of 5 stars The New Settlement Cook Book, January 14, 2007

By	Joann Novak "Joann" (South Lyon, MI USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I have been using this cook book for 45 years. My mother bought it for me when I married. Her book was a previous printing and even told the new cook how to kill the chicken before cleaning and cooking it. My three daughters now use it in their homes. It has wonderful recipes that are plain, good cooking. It is the cook book I reach for first.

By	Jane Austen "lady liberty" (Kanab, UT) - See all my reviews

I am very pleased with the prompt service on this order. I love the cookbook! I bought the book mainly as a historical source, but many of the recipes are wonderful. A real trip back in time. Thanks!
