Summary: The best cookbook I have ever owned!
Review: My parents had given me this cookbook when I was moving into my first apartment. It had everything in it from egg salad to beef wellington, beverages, you name it, and it was in there. The recipes were easy to understand and it provided substitutes to change almost every recipe so I never got tired of a specific one. Since I didn't really enjoy cooking this really helps. The down side... it didn't show a breakdown of calories, fat etc., but you know what you put into a meal, and what substitutes you can use to make it healthier for you. Unfortunately my labrador puppy chewed most of it up, so I don't have a copy any longer, but will purchase another one...

Summary: The Very Best In Cookbooks This One Tops All The Rest
Review: This was the first cookbook that my late husband purchased for me after we were married in 1974. He had tasted everything I knew how to cook and could not tolerate my cooking any longer. The first recipe that I followed was Chicken Fricassee, he loved it so much that it became his favorite meal. When I prepared this same dish for my new husband, he too fell in love with it. Chicken Fricassee remains my family favorite meal to this day!
My sister-in-laws have tried to get my recipes from me many times. I tell them that they were passed down from my late relatives and they are our family secrets! Even though they know this isn't true, they leave me alone about it. I know it's mean, but its more fun that way.
There is a chowder recipe from this cookbook that my Pastor would not eat anywhere else, but from my kitchen. He even got up in front of the entire congregation and told them about it!
My cookbook is now so worn out that it is nearly impossible to find certain pages. Who ever is selling their cookbook must be very ill or they have never tried anything in it!
I am going to try and get a newer one and pass this poor worn cookbook down to my daughter who has wanted it for so long. She will be honored to receive it!
