The only cookbook you’re going to need!

This is the only cookbook you’ll ever need for American foods and classic meals. I bought this one to replace my worn out copy. The used version I got was n good condition and the price was good.

This is a terrific cookbook. It doesn't use soup-based shortcuts. Rather, it is a comprehensive cookbook of classic American dishes. It's easy to follow, with a great selection of recipes. There are chapters on breads, meat, vegetables and so on. It would be a great start for a beginner, but even experienced cooks will find it worthwhile. I've used their waffle and cake recipes for thirty years, never buying a mix. Honestly, never used one.

I just wish it were back in print so I could buy new copies as shower gifts.

One of my favorite cooking books ever

Reviewed in the United States on December 25, 2016

I had this book when it came out, back in the 80's, and I loaned it and lost it. Finally, after much looking for it, I got a copy. This is truly a book on American cooking, with recipes that you don't see in many books nowadays. The ones I had tried are very good and not complicated at all. If you like classic American cooking this is a book for you and if you find a copy as good as mine, grab it. You won't regret it.

my all-time favorite cookbook

Reviewed in the United States on December 31, 2010

My mother had a copy of this cookbook when I first moved out on my own. I would call 2-3 times a week asking for specific recipes. Eventually, she just gave me her copy and said she would call me. Of course, she had to buy herself another copy. I have never made anything in this book that I did not like. The recipes are not difficult, and there is a nice mix of basic and special occasion recipes. I ordered a new copy, because my actually fell apart from so much use.

Great basic cookbook. The Blueberry Pie recipe alone is worth the price of the book. Tx u

Best cookbook you've never heard of (and no canned soup needed)

Reviewed in the United States on November 23, 2010

I've had a copy of this cookbook (in fact, it's probably this 1984 edition -- the cover looks identical to mine, and the timing would be right) for a couple of decades now (I bought it through some cookbook club when I was first out on my own after graduate school in 1986-7), and though I have many, many other cookbooks, including classics like the Betty Crocker cookbook and the Best of Farm Journal Country cookbook (each of which I tend to turn back to regularly for one or two really good recipes that I can count on), this is the one I still reach for FIRST from my cookbook shelves, whenever I want to search for a new recipe or cook one of the dozens of tried-and-true favorite recipes it contains.

The first thing you should know about this book is that there are VERY FEW recipes that call for any kind of CANNED SOUP (when canned soup is mentioned at all, it's usually just in some short-cut option in a small paragraph underneath the main recipe). There's a heckuva lot more than soup (and usually home-made soup from scratch) in this book.

The second thing you should know is that when they put "Great American" in the title, they meant great recipes from many DIFFERENT American families, including immigrants from all over the world, and though I have cookbooks devoted solely to Mediterranean recipes or recipes from particular regions of China, for example, I go back to the Campbell's cookbook for the best SPANAKOPITA (Greek spinach and feta cheese pie in phyllo pastry, if you've never had it) and the best SZECHUAN SHRIMP recipes I've tried. If you want a cornbread recipe, you'll get both Northern and Southern U.S. versions, as well as short introductory notes explaining the difference and traditions behind them.

An additional bonus is that there's usually a sentence or two giving some of the history of that particular food (both the making and the eating of it) in America.

If I want to make an apple crisp or rhubarb crisp, this is the book I use. The same goes for pie recipes of all sorts, including an excellent chicken pie recipe that I often trot out the day after Thanksgiving for a leftover turkey variation.

Best recipe for Chicken Divan? It's in this book (and I've never made the shortcut version using canned mushroom soup instead of a white sauce flavored with sherry, fresh mushrooms, and nutmeg).

When I recently wanted to try frying up some ocean perch fillets for the first time ever, it was this book that offered me three different recipes for pan-fried fish, depending on how much labor I wanted to put into it, and my results from using the simplest recipe in the bunch were excellent.

Get the picture? I LOVE this cookbook, and if I could keep only one of the forty or so books on my kitchen shelves, this is the one I'd choose in a heartbeat.

Perfect cookbook

Reviewed in the United States on October 9, 2014

This is the absolute best cookbook I have ever seen. And I love cookbooks. Every recipe I've ever tried has came out perfect. My mom got this back in the day and my brother and I both learned how to cook by following these recipes. For a new cook this book is where you need to start. It's everything from homemade soups and appetizers to desserts. And has the world's best fried chicken recipe
