Summary: The Best Cookbook I Own
Review: I am an avid amateur cook, and have had this cookbook for several years. Every recipe I have made has been tremendous, and receives rave reviews from guests or the host of parties I bring a dish to, etc. I have also given copies of this book as gifts and will continue to do so. The recipes are not too complicated, and directions are well-written. A must for the person who likes to entertain, or who enjoys eating well at home!

Summary: My wife loves it and so do I!
Review: I am newly married and my wife has never cooked much. She got the cookbook as a shower gift and it now has become her "bible" in the kitchen. Directions are easy to follow and she now is trying new and different recipes each week, and I reap the benefits. Thanks Junior League!

Summary: This cookbook (now my favorite) is full of fabulous recipes.
Review: I have never found a cookbook that has SO MANY excellent recipes. I have tried recipes from almost every category and everyone has been great. These truly are some of the most treasured recipes, just like the book advertises. You're missing "a good find" if you pass over this one!

Summary: Great collection!
Review: I received this book from my grandmother as a gift - never thought I would like it so much! It has become one of my staple cookbooks; the recipes are accurate, easy to follow (and modify, if necessary), and delicious. There are fun things to try (Brie crackers and Nebraska City Cake), good basics (a great chili recipe and REALLY easy pretzels), and lots of recipes in every possible category. I'm always finding more recipes to try and I've never been disappointed. If you're looking to go beyond Betty Crocker and BH&G, try this one.

Summary: AWESOME!
Review: I use this cookbook A LOT! It is the one I turn to if I don't have time to try a recipe before I serve it to company. I have had requests for the recipes for EVERYTHING I have served to company out of this book. I am buying several copies today as Christmas and housewarming gifts.

Summary: My most-used cookbook!
Review: I use this more than any other cookbook--I trust it, and the recipes are not too difficult. I am ordering another today for a gift!

Summary: Worth every penny
Review: I'm a pretty serious cook, and have been for at least 30 years. At this point I generally buy only highly specialized or pretty esoteric cookbooks, just to learn some new area better. So it was with some hesitation that I bought this book on the recommendation of a friend last year. Let me tell you, unequivocally, that it's a real winner. It's quite clear that the women involved really tested the recipes to death, because I haven't had a clunker yet, and I must have tried at least 30 recipes since I bought it. I recommend it to everyone, regardless of his or her experience level, because none of the recipes are particularly difficult, and you are spared the worry of something turning out to taste awful, which is what usually happens when you're first learning to pick recipes. Buy it without a second thought. If you love really good food, you'll love it.
