5.0 out of 5 stars The best tasting and easy recipes, October 17, 2004

By	azmom "azmom" (gilbert, az) - See all my reviews

I was given this book 10 years ago and have since since tried many recipes in this book, all of my potluck favorites that get rave reviews come from this book. It has old fashioned easy recipes, special kids sections, hard to find simple recipes like gingerbread houses and easter egg dye. I have used my book so much I am having to buy a second less abused copy.

4.0 out of 5 stars Wonderful!, February 9, 1998

By A Customer

This book is easy to use and full of "comfort food" recipes. I was delighted to see things like old fashioned Easter egg dye recipes and charming ways of serving foods and snacks (especially the ideas for children's treats). It's definitely a book worth having in your collection.

5.0 out of 5 stars Like Grandma Used to Make, December 12, 2007

By	J. Keeler (Silver Spring, MD) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

If you're looking for a good gift to give - for any occasion - you found the perfect thing. This cookbook has great recipes. Easy ones and then the more challenging ones (souffles)! It's the best. And you don't have to pay full price. When I bought it I immediately made 3-4 things. Everything was a hit. Don't think you could be disappointed with the recipes if you get one!
