Summary: By far and away
Review: By far and away the VERY BEST COOKBOOK EVER. The recipes are simple, basic and absolutely delicious. I received this book as a shower gift 7 years ago and it's my go-to cookbook whenever I need a failsafe recipe. I have so much confidence in this book, I don't think twice about trying a new recipe for guests, since I know it's going to be delicious and turn out perfect. This book has never failed me. You can find the ingredients at any grocery store (nothing too fancy). People rave about the food this book turns out! Tasty tasty.

Review: Honest to God, the best cookbook I have seen. I enjoy just sitting down and reading it, that's how good the recipes are. I have made several items from this book and really enjoyed them. The recipes are for simple, homey, comfort food and are easy to make without relying on expensive, uncommon ingredients. There are truly so many recipes in each category it is easy to find one that will suit my mood.

I liked this book so much, I gave it to 2 of my friends as wedding shower gifts and I recomended it to another friend; she bought it and loves it.

If you like gourmet, fancy or low-fat food, do not buy this book. If you like good food that is not hard to make and will get a lot of compliments, buy this book.

Summary: A fantastic collection of good, old-fashioned recipes
Review: My copy of "Favorite Recipes from Quilters: More Than 900 Delectable Dishes" just arrived in the mail, and I was *very* pleasantly surprised! Usually, the majority of the cookbooks that I buy are what I refer to as "cannibalized," meaning that what few good recipes are in them are cut out and put into my folders of loose recipe clippings (giving their lives for the greater good of my collection of good, *useful* "gotta keep this one" recipes, so to speak, but cutting down on the clutter in my house ).

This book though, as full as it is of *exactly* the kind of recipes that I'm constantly foraging for, has great (and obviously easily made to a successful completion) ideas on just about *every* page! The authors were able to fit multiple recipes on *each* page's format, due to the simplicity of both the ingredients and the instructions required for each one, but *don't* think that simplicity means "boring," because some of the best tasting recipes are made with the most simple ingredients!

With this book, and a couple of others that I just now ordered, "Mennonite Community Cookbook: Favorite Family Recipes" and "Mennonite Country-Style Recipes & Kitchen Secrets" (and those cookbooks that I already own, that I've already listed on my Listmania lists like Fanny Farmer) I think that I'll have just about EVERY recipe that I've ever yearned for! Who would ever have thought it possible??

Naw, I'm sure that I'll continue to add to my collection (cookbook junkie that I am), but this book will definitely hold it's own special place, and be *used* often.

Review: This is my favorite cookbook. I am forever reading recipes from it to my grown children over the phone, so am now ordering them copies! The recipes are simple, and haven't failed me yet.
