Review

I love this book!! This book is always on hand all over the kitchen and laundry room. The ant killer works and your dog won't die! I still use it after 18 years. The Betty Crocker for the 21st century!! --Marti H., Palm Spring, CA

I loved the book and I bought it for all 5 of my children. I asked my youngest how he liked it and he said "It gave me confidence to get the groceries and then cook them. It is easy to understand and I like that it does not remind me of a text book." --Marcia M; Lynden, WA

This is the only book you need when you leave home. My mom bought this book for me when I first got married, and after seven years of marriage, this is still the most used book in my house. This book is a must!! --Brittany Z., Monroe, WA

Such a great gift!
My mom bought me this book when I went to college 35 years ago. She has since passed but I love flipping through it and seeing her recipes, advice and just get handwriting. This year I bought the book for my daughter and passed on my mother’s recipes and added a few of my own. She LOVES it!

    I received this book about 20 years ago right after I got married and am gifting it to my niece now that she is married. It has useful information from first aid to basic recipes. It is a confidence builder and I still reference it from time to time. Each of my children will receive a copy when they move out.

    I got this book 25ish years ago when I first moved out. I've broken the spine in mine & have to shove pages back in every time I use it. Because I'm still using it at least monthly, I got a copy for each of my four boys. The recipes are easy, or easy bases if you're more adventurous. The brownie recipe is still my go-to & still gets rave reviews. I use it mostly for recipes, but the stain tips are also excellent.
