My favorite cookbook

This has to be my all time favorite cookbook. I have yet to make something from this book that wasn't easy and very tasty. It is organized and photographed beautifully and offers something for everyone.

Where has this book been all my life!

I have many, many cookbooks, but none as comprehensive as this. Initially I borrowed this book from a friend and after using it, I bought it that evening. This book has everything from when to use certain spices to how long to cook different types of meats by weight and method. What a find.

Excellent gift for beginner and experienced cooks!

I have had this book for three years and have given it as gift to two of my grown children. I am ordering it for my 24 year old son this Christmas. The recipes are elegant and delicious, yet not intimidating. I have many cookbooks, but this is one of my top five favorites. I especially like the captions of "low fat", "low cholesterol", "quick", etc. I highly recommend this book.

best cookbook ever !!!

I,ve found lots of really great and tasty receipes. They are beautifully illustrated and all clearly described !

Excellent beginner cookbook.

This is an excellent cookbook for people who have graduated from Betty Crocker (or think she's too bland) but are not yet ready for Julia Child. I've made many of the recipes in this book and they have all been good to excellent (I haven't scratched out one yet!).
