Exccellent

I wasn't expecting a book of this size. Super retro. Great recipes.

Next to the Bible this book is the most used in my home!

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! 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!

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.

The best cookbook I have ever owned!

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...

This is the greatest most complete cookbook ever written!!

My father gave me this copy in 1975. I had been married 8 years. With all of the books I have collected over the last 32 years, this one is the most used. My 4th child is getting married and I am looking for a copy for her. If there was a fire, this book and my favorite cookie book would all that I would save in the evacuation!!
