Summary: Required in Every Kitchen
Review: This is probably the best cookbook in print for novice and experienced cooks. It's written in plain English, has exceptional recipes, includes standard cooking instructions as well as more complicated dishes, and it's well categorized and indexed. I bought this book when I moved into my first apartment many years ago, and I still refer to it regularly. The ringbound format is so convenient! Coupled with The Joy of Cooking (older version), a new cook needs no more expensive volumes on the shelf.

Review: This book is absolutely fabulous. My husband gave it to me for Christmas, in an attempt to get me back into the kitchen, and it worked. Already I've taken the opportunity to go through the binder several times, and it contains a wealth of information, whether you're a gourmet cook, or a novice like myself. The cooking techniques in the beginning of the binder are especially helpful, and I've taken a lot of wonderful tips to help ensure the success of the recipies. My husband encourages everyone to try the Canadian Bacon Cheeseburgers. They're delicious.

Summary: All in the family.
Review: This is not the only cookbook I have but the only one I use. It is reliable and proven by time. My parents had one when I was little and I loved looking at the pictures. My dad taught me how to cook using it. When I got married, it was a wedding present. I have since bought several new additions and have given one to each of my children as they have moved away from home. Everything you need to know is in there from the basics like measuring, storage and definitions to more complex recipes. Even though I am a grandmother now, I still like the pictures. Nice to know what some things are supposed to look like :o)

Summary: Excellent daily guide to general food preparation
Review: I use this book at least once a week and so does my husband. He likes to use it to determine cooking times for meat and poultry on the grill. If you are looking for a basic recipe of tried and true American favorites, this book will have a simple recipe with ingredients that you don't have to spend a day searching for in an exotic food market. The best part of this book is at the end of each section (meat, vegtables, poultry), there is a listing of foods from that group. Next to the food item there are times and temperatures to cook them using various methods (i.e. bake, broil, direct grilling.)
