4.0 out of 5 stars Wonderful!, July 19, 2006

By	armchairinterviews.com (Minnesota) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Fix It And Enjoy It Cookbook (Paperback)

If your grandma was a great cook and wrote a cookbook, it would look a little something like this book--great for beginners and advanced cooks alike. It does not tell you how to cook, but gives a full variety of recipes that are easy and scrumptious looking, as well as crowd pleasing.

The layout clean and organized and does not startle the reader with cutesy or bright, hard-to-read fonts. Since this cookbook has recipes collected from different people, it reminds me of Southern women getting together on a Sunday afternoon to swap their treasured meal cards.

Fix-It and Enjoy-It gives recipes for just about everything from Texas caviar to homemade ice cream and breads. My mouth literally watered when I looked at all 675 of these recipes. The only thing I did not like was, there were no pictures.

For the price to eat out at a restaurant, one can have this book jammed pack with meal that will satisfy even picky palates. This book is really a gem among the rocks. Each recipe has an ingredient list that is uncomplicated with easy-to-find ingredients.

Phyllis Pellman Good humors her readers with a personal anecdote. I cannot believe that the author of so many cookbooks, including the great Fix-it and Forget-it series, once did not like or know how to cook!

Armchair Interviews says: The author is very encouraging and says, "If I can cook, you can too."

5.0 out of 5 stars Every kitchen should have one, January 9, 2007

By	Marilyn Campbell "Lyn" (Tucson, AZ) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: Fix It And Enjoy It Cookbook (Plastic Comb)

This is a wonderful reference, whether you're brand new to cooking or like myself, have been around the kitchen for 50 years. Most all of the recipes use ingredients that you normally have in your cupboards. When I get a new cookbook, I read them like a novel and check the ones I want to try. There's so many checks, I don't know where to start!

This review is from: Fix It And Enjoy It Cookbook (Paperback)

Great recipes, that are easy to follow. Easy enough that if you have never cooked before you could use this book and have the meals come out right.
