Great for the Collector!

Great book if you're a fan of Mr. Food or a collector of his books!

Great cookbook!

I just got this cookbook in my mail yesterday. I just can't wait to try some of the recipes. They all sound very simple and delicious! I would recommend this to cooks that like great food and easy recipes!

Serve Death By Chocolate.....They'll Love Ya!!!

I was kind of a food snob until I saw Mr. Food hawking this book on a shopping network. I phoned in my order and upon receiving this collection, I decided to try some of the recipes. My parents came for a visit one weekend and I treated them to Death By Chocolate. Well, by the time they returned home, they had purchased both this book and a trifle dish for that dessert! At work, the Applesauce 'n Spice Bread and Blueberry Crisp were particular favorites. A colleague and I are catering a luncheon on the first day of school for our staff and Death By Chocolate is on the menu. The real beauty of the book is its simplicity. The recipes have few ingredients, all readily available and take little time to prepare. And the book is not just about dessert. Sections on appetizers, soups, poultry, meat, fish, veggies and bread are also included. I particularly loved the Chicken Breast Scampi. If you love simplicity and flavor, not to mention the many compliments that will follow each recipe, give this book a try.

The essential cookbook

I have several cookbooks but when it's time for something new, I open up Mr. Food. There are two recipes in this book that are worth the price alone, "Fancy Fast Chicken" and "Macaroni Holiday". Macaroni Holiday is made with fresh mushrooms, celery, onions, macaroni, and cheese. I add a little Gorgonzola and halve the cheddar to give a more piquant taste to the dish. FF chicken is made with boneless skinless chicken breasts, mushrooms, cream of chicken soup, white wine, Swiss cheese, and stuffing mix. Sounds wacky doesn't it, but...put those ingredients together in the right combination and watch your guests beg you for more and the recipe. Those are just two of several great recipes in this book. What I love about Mr. Food's book is that you can easily substitute ingredients for lowfat cooking. Also, the recipes are easy and fast! Alot of these dishes can be made ahead and frozen for a quick reheat during the week. My husband and I eat out too often. We are staying home and cooking to save cash and calories. Honestly, I prefer anything in this cookbook to the cuisine at any chain restaurant.

a usefull wedding gift

I received this cookbook as a wedding gift 5 years ago and it is the one cookbook that I use most often. The recipies are practical, easy, and I have gotten compliments on everything I have made from this book. It also often gives variations of the recipies for those who like to be a little more creative. I like this book so much that I have actually bought several to give to other people as gifts.
