Customer Reviews

My Favorite Cookbok

Like one of the earlier reviewers, I too have hundreds of cookbooks. I bought this cookbook almost 20 years ago in a supermarket and have used it regularly ever since. The recipe for sticky rolls includes the BEST recipe for sweetdough that I have ever encountered, hands down, and I am an avid yeastbread baker. The Big, Soft Molasses Cookies are out of this world. I have had success with every single recipe I have ever tried. For such a modest little book, the recipe testing and accuracy were outstanding.

Wonderful book

My childern cleaned by cellar recently and disposed of many of my many cookbooks. Last night I wanted to make Summer Peach Dessert from my Comfort Food cookbook, but the book was nowhere to be found. This wonderful book was such a good source of good, easy family cooking that I knew I had to get another. The chocolate pudding is so much better than the packaged kind, and no harder to make. This book is fun to read, and brings back so many good memories.

My Favorite Cookbook

I have close to 900 cookbooks. This is my favorite and most used. All the recipes are good and most are great. Not a lot of ingredients. Just good home cooking at it's best. Holly has compiled the best of homecooking in this small, easy to use and read cookbook. I love it. I have cookbooks by all the greats, James Beard, Julia, Martha, Jeff Smith, and all the others. These are the recipes I use constantly and with confidence for family gatherings. And I always give out these recipes as everyone wants them. These recipes are truly comforting from the first bite to the last one..... MMMMMM good! The rice pudding, spicy bread pudding, and the best chicken fried steak- ever....The Hot Fudge Pudding Cake is to die for. I also enjoy her footnotes on some of the recipes. Thank you Holly for making my kitchen time more fun and enjoyable.... Cynthia McKee
