Customer Reviews

I did our daughter's wedding feast from this book!

This is the best collection of delectable recipes EVER! I depend on it for everything now. The first recipe I tried was the cheesecake, and my husband looked at me and said: "to die for." The pecan pie is without equal. I prepared the food for 250 guests after our daughter's wedding, and every recipe came from this book. The chocolate raspberry truffle brownies were the biggest hit! The finger foods were wonderful! The thing that cooks will like the best is that they can be assured that every single recipe will turn out great--that they've all been tested and chosen as winners. No more leafing through and trying to decide IF something will be a praisworthy dish; now you KNOW! Love this book!

Buyer Beware

I have reviewed every recipe in this book. They all are quite simple and am sure they are delicious. I rated this book with 5 stars for "delicious". This book harks back to a time when America was much more active. 95% of these recipes contain pints of cream, cups of oil, butter, sour cream, bacon,and sugar. Fat makes everything great. If you need great recipes for special occasions that are easy to prepare, buy this book. If you made these a part of your every day diet, if you have high blood pressure, and or are obese, it would probably take years off your life. You can't have your cake and eat it too.

Superior recipes from all over the U.S.A. in one neat book!

Fantastic recipes for all types of tastebuds. The ingredients are already in your kitchen. Cook to entertain, or cook for yourself. Either way, you and your family and friends will be pleased. I especially like the desserts. They're easy to prepare and look beautiful, just as though they were professionally prepared.

The Recipes are delicious and SO easy to make!!!!

I absolutely love this cookbook. My husband has even started cooking since I bought this cookbook. He even reads it in bed!!! The great thing about this cookbook is that ALL of the recipes are delicious. I have other cookbooks that I only use one or two of the recipes but I have already used about 10 of the recipes in this book. I love the Wild Rice Casserole. It's delicious and SO easy to make; I made it Sunday afternnon, froze it and then just popped it in the oven Thursday night. My husband loves to cook breakfast and the whole family loved the Peach French Toast. I would reccommend this cookbook to anyone who likes to eat and cook delicious food.

The best cookbook I've ever owned!!!!

The perfect book for a single person (especially a male) and a great book for a family looking for tasty meals that appeal to everyone. I was able to make dishes (like gumbo & beef stew) that I never would have tried without this book. The editors have done a wonderful job making the recipes easy to follow and each one is a true winner!!! They are truly Hall of Fame caliber.
