The Best Cookbook

I have purchased and given five of these cookbooks. My copy is well used and I have heard good reports from those I have given it to. Every recipe turns out great and the detailed instructions and photos are so helpful. They test each recipe many times until satisfied with the results. Sometimes they change the technique and do not use the conventional preparation procedure. I try recipes out of this book with great confidence and highly recommend it.


Everything you always wanted to know about cooking and then some.

Aside from the fact that this is one hefty book and two hands are needed to lug it around by everyone except Iron Man and the Hulk, this book serves just about every purpose for cooks of every caliber. There are recipes for everyday family meals as well as upscale dishes for the more educated palate.

What I especially like are the detailed instructions with accompanying photos to help us with techniques that are unfamiliar to us. Add to that the substitution list and the measurement conversion chart (I could have used this during my four years in Hong Kong.), high altitude instructions, and menu planning.

I was looking for a cookbook to give as a graduation gift, along with a copy of 50 Ways to Leave Your Mother, a humorous advice book for grown kids moving out on their own, and the cookbook had to have lots of instructions for the novice cook. This book has all of that and will work nicely for my gift-giving needs. I do have a word of caution for those thinking of giving this book to a first-time cook. Think twice before handing over a copy to the guy whose culinary specialties are ramen noodles and those filled pockets of melted cheese and who knows what else. (The book would just end up being a side table on which to set their beer cans.) On the other hand, it would be perfect for the novice cook who watches the Food Network religiously, cuts recipes out of magazines, and likes to cook for others; someone who will appreciate all the trial and error that went in to creating some very good recipes and a very complete cookbook.

The Best Cookbook I've Ever Owned!

I love this cookbook. It has recipes for almost anything I would ever want to cook! I will definitely be giving them as gifts to new brides. My Betty Crocker cookbook used to be my "go to" cookbook, but not any more. I love that the recipes are so detailed that a novice who can follow directions is assured of success. I like the explanations about the various ingredients that were tested and why decisions were made. I have never tried a recipe from this book and had a failure. I also like the product and equipment testing and recommendations. If someone twisted my arm and said I had to find one thing I didn't like, it would be that I had to insert the section dividers myself, a job I found tedious. Sorry, but I can't find any other fault with this cookbook. The recipes are accurate and easy to understand and they always come out as expected. No surprises. What more could you want in a cookbook?

This is the BEST

Unlike many of the cookbooks I have purchased, this one has been THOROUGHLY researched . The recipes are only finalized after many different methods and ingredients have been tested. The book has dozens of useful tips. I now cook almost exclusively using this wonderful book. You can't go wrong buying this book.


nice book, good information

I bought this book for my daughter. She and I both think it is nicely presented with good information. We both like the photos, especially the instruction photos for procedures. We like that the authors insert their own reviews of various products, in appropriate places (although occasionaly they seemed overly biased...with some things there is no "better or worse", only "different"). I gave only 4 stars because I don't know how well the binder might hold up over time. It does not appear to be sturdy enough for a book this size. I will probably put a protective cover on it to extend its life.
