Customer Reviews

Worth every penny

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.

The Best Cookbook I Own

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!

My wife loves it and so do I!

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!

This cookbook (now my favorite) is full of fabulous recipes.

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!

A terrific all purpose cookbook.

This is a must have cookbook for lovers of Junior League cookbooks. Recipes are easy to follow and very creative. It contains recipes from all the great Junior League cookbooks from around the country. It also has bios of wonderful Junior League women from around the world and discusses important community accomplishments of all the Junior Leagues. Every good cook should have this cookbook on the shelf!
