This is the best cookbook I own except for the classic Fannie Farmer cookbook.
From Beverage to Dinner and everything in between this is a cookbook everyone can use! ❤

Found this at the thrift store over the weekend and immediately picked out several recipes to try. We actually made one of them last night. These recipes are so comforting since they are from the early 90s and I cannot wait to make more. The variety of recipes and information it has is amazing for all cooking levels.

My mom had this book when I was a kid and TBH I only bought it for the peach cobbler recipe. But I was pleasantly surprised to find lots more recipes using every day items I have in my kitchen. There's even a recipe for Thanksgiving turkey! Great find!

My book is the three ring binder. The out of print cookbook is beautifully designed, well written, and illustrated throughout with gorgeous photography. The cookbook contains the following sections:

1. Appetizers & Snacks 7. Eggs & Cheese
2. Breads 8. Salads & Sandwiches
3. Soups & Stews 9. Pasta, Rice, & Beans
4. Poultry 10. Vegetables
5. Meats 11. Desserts, Cakes, & Pies
6. Fish & Seafood 12. Cookies & Candy

The recipes are detailed, simple, and some of them have microwave directions. Every recipe contains approximate preparation/cooking times and serving sizes. The cookbook is mainly centered on updated, simple, country style, rib-sticking, nostalgic home cooking. The recipes are fairly straightforward, easy to follow, and don't call for exotic, hard to find, specialty ingredients.

As I previously mentioned, each dish is shown in a beautifully formatted photograph; usually in a cast-iron Dutch Oven, or cast-iron skillet, sitting on a farm style kitchen table or pantry. This is a wonderful cookbook filled with plenty of great ideas for simple, classic, delicious, home cooked, wholesome country meals. This cookbook gem should be in every serious cook's library.

I am quickly discovering that I love this cookbook. There are huge pictures every other page, which I like because I am much more interested in trying a recipe if I can see what it looks like. Most of the recipes have a relatively simple ingredients list, with instructions that are summed up in just a few short paragraphs. For the more complicated recipes, there are often photos showing individual steps, with instructions, as well. As for the food itself, I have yet to make something out of it that I haven't simply loved!

This is our favorite cookbook. All the recipes you make from it are repeatable, which is our standard for judgement. After you make a new recipe, you ask "was it good?," but the real question is "was it repeatable?," and all of these are.

Many of these recipes look good, but haven't tried any yet.

A great cookbook that uses everyday ingredients, but the recipes all look delicious. I use this book regularly-Photos of food on each page.
