MY THOUGHTS:
I became interested in cooking--and creating my own recipes--at around age nine. I was given a copy of the Betty Crocker cookbook with the bright red cover for Christmas one year, and I used that cookbook until the cover fell off and the pages separated.

If you have not had the opportunity to visit a Williams Sonoma of California store, you are missing out on a special treat. If you love to cook and you haven't gone into one of their stores, you have probably saved yourself several hours of time along with several hundred dollars.
