 Rating:  - Great Cookbook for the Old Fashioned RecipesAlthough I am a vegetarian and also do a lot of ethnic and gourmet cooking, this is the cookbook I turn to when I am making an old-fashioned, American meal and need a basic recipe - dishes like scalloped potatoes, macaroni and cheese, bread stuffing with sausage (I substitute vegetarian sausage to accompany my Tofurkey at Thanksgiving). All the old-fashioned classics are in this book and always turn out great. Just yesterday I had company coming for a birthday celebration and they wanted a plain chocolate cake, so I was able to open this book up and get a recipe for a basic devil's food cake and another recipe for chocolate buttercream frosting. Nothing fancy, but delicious and exactly what I needed. I highly recommend this cookbook as a staple in any cook's collection. Rating:  - The best cookbook ever!I have had the hardcover version of this cookbook for many years now, and it is a favorite of mine and my mothers (and my mother is a great cook!) She is always turning to it to look up a recipe for something or another that we can't find in another book. We have used my book so much that it is falling apart and I am going to have to get another one. I would recommend this to any cook, beginner or advanced. Rating: - Gift givingPurchased this as a gift for my aunt, and she absolutely loved it. Pages are simple to read this pictures through out and worth the money. Rating:  - Reliable usually, but in other ways lacklusterThis little book is pretty handy, it contains most of the classic American recipes in simple to follow directions. Generally speaking, I use the baking section of this the most. Pros: lighweight, portable. The recipes contain familiar classics. The stuff I've made from the breads and morning pastries section have been pretty delicious. There's an informative handling/storage preface for many recipes. Cons: the small format makes it difficult for the book to prop open, and its width makes it too small for most recipe bookstands, quite annoying when cooking and reading at the same time. There are no pics, though it's not a major problem with a book like this. Many of the baking recipes will need more milk than the recipe suggests, and the muffin recipes often don't contain enough batter to fill the 12 cups it says. The other recipes are reliable, but nothing here can be considered innovative or even modern in taste. There's definitely a preponderance of meat-and-bread recipes here, with the vegetables stucked all the way in the back, and most of recipes call more for sauce than vegetables themselves. Overall, I think this could be a handy reference for a very occasional cook. Personally I think with the overwhelming number of cookbooks in the market today, there is no real reason to pick this book (I got mine for free, so can't complain). For those seeking traditional American dishes, the William-Sonoma series have far better book recipes and pictures, and anyone slighty more serious about cooking will find excellent companion in Joy of cooking.
