Customer Reviews

Our families 'cookbook bible'

When in doubt you can always trust this cookbook to detail the variations of a recipe or give a broad chart to reference cooking times. The format is easy to use yet very detail oriented when appropriate. My mother's original 1953 copy is still used,each of her children have a copy and all of those copies are aging gracefully (right along with us!).Timeless.

Best cookbook written

I always say it. If I could have only one cookbook in my collection (and I have dozens), it would be this one. I learned to make most of my basic recipes from this book, which continues to be useful day in and day out. I have an older 1950s version, and it takes me from basic recipes to old fashioned ones that are rarely made anymore. It is a real shame it's out of print, since it's easily one of the best basic cookbooks around.

One of the old time great cookbooks

It's really too bad that this cookbook is now out of print, as this is one of the great ones. This cookbook takes us back to a time when cooking was all about taste, with little or no worries over fat, or calories.Many of your old favorite recipes will be included in this volume...probably where your mother or granma found them in the first place.

A Never-Fail Cookbook

I have a very old copy of this book that was my grandmother's. I have never made a recipe from this book that didn't turn out beautifully. There is much interesting background and detail information at the start of each chapter, that many other cookbooks assume you know. This book has been one of my best teachers for cooking.

The American Woman's Cookbook

A wonderful collection ranging from basic information to little-known recipes. If all the other cookbooks fail, come here - or skip the others and come here first.
