I got this book for free back in the 80s in front of a popular grocery store. There was a young man handing the books out and boy have I not forgotten this book , over the years from moving I lost the book. I remembered it today, and was so happy to find it again. I just ordered it . I memorized the broccoli cheese casserole recipe . I did the stuffed mushrooms quite a bit too. Delicious.gourmet style cooking etc. I always receive two thumbs up for the broccoli cheese casserole. It’s been so long. I look forward to opening up this book like it’s brand new again. I can’t wait to see all the other recipes ! It’s a book I highly recommend owning

Favorite cookbook

I like many others got this cookbook as a freebe for a subscription. I have used it constantly since 1983, so much so the pages have turned yellow & are starting to get loose in the book. It is probably the best cookbook I have ever had & would love to buy one for my daughter, now that she is out on her own. I no longer live in So Calif, but find each recipe interesting with the little blurps they give on the background of each recipe.

The best cookbook I've ever seen.

P-p-p-please reprint! I also received this with an LA times subscription... It's a wonderful collection of outstanding recipes. I remember an "offbeat chicken salad" that was THE BEST SALAD I EVER HAD, and was actually GOOD for you! Also, a potluck just isn't a potluck without that amazing pumpkin bread... If heaven has a taste... I've tried other recipes with varying success, but a remarkable half of these are mainstay "keepers" for any recipe collection. Everyone will find something they love.

brilliant!

I got this book as a freebie back in 1983 with a newspaper subscription. Although I no longer live in SoCal or get the LA Times, it is by far the best of all the cookbooks I own (and I own many!). The cheesecake recipe alone has made me famous (I have modified it) amongst all my friends and it is constantly asked for for parties. I would love to be able to give this as a gift to others...please bring it back!

The best cookbook for simple and special foods!

I got this as a gift. It is a gift that just keeps on given'. If it were in-print, I wld give it to several of my family and friends for gifts. One of the best cookbooks I have on my self! BRING IT BACK!
