 Rating:  - great all-around cookbookThis couldn't be your only cookbook, but almost. It covers many of the recipes that you use on a regular basis, and tells you how to make them great, and WHY you need to do what it says. The books Cook's puts out would be wonderful for a beginner cook - you might as well start out doing it the right way. I only wish they had been around when I was a kid. And if you haven't yet, you should catch their tv show on PBS. Rating: - I was a good cook...but this made my dinners Excellent!If you take any interest at all in cooking, you will LOVE reading this book! But the proof is in the pudding, of course, and time after time, the recipes I use from this book have been successful. For instance, my husband and adult son agreed that the macaroni and cheese I made from this collection was the absolute BEST I had ever made. You may think I was an average cook to begin with, but that isn't the case. The editors were right, evaporated milk was the key to a smooth cheese sauce. And who would have thought of using fettucini instead of egg noodles in the tuna casserole, but once I did it, I would never use anything but. I read the long, ranting and complaining about this and other books by one reviewer and thought it was petty. I consider this American Classics book to have two solid attributes: excellent discussion of testing and methods as well as reliable recipes. Not only did I purchase the Italian Classics and the Best Recipes books (both of which I enjoyed as well), I plan to purchase the large basic cookbook by the same publisher as gifts to my adult children this holiday season. This book has given me a HUGE boost of energy and enthusiasm for cooking, and we're all enjoying the benefits. Rating:  - Interesting American Recipes for Brits- and AmericansI spent time in the States when younger, and some things that I ate were a little eclectic for British Tastes. However, when I saw this book reviewed in the British press, I knew it would have all the recipes I would need. I wasn't wrong! Not many pictures, but clear, concise instructions, and reading it has made my tummy rumble! Can't wait to try the stuffing recipes - so much different to British stuffing, and the Coca-cola glazed Ham. This will keep me busy for ages! Rating: - Loved it!I bought this book for my brother and instead of wrapping it, I read it during the three hour trip to his house. He almost didn't get it! It has so many great ideas in it even for someone like me who has been cooking a long time. Buy this for the foodie in your life!
