[Stacy · Rating 4 out of 5]

Why buy a book when you can get the recipes for free from allrecipes.com? For convenience, mostly. This cookbook is organized in a couple of different formats: suggested themed menus, and by category (ie, cakes, starters, meatless dishes, etc). It shows the average recipe rating by online users (which is 4 or 5 stars) and some useful suggestions that other cooks made. A good book to consult when you're looking for something to bring to a potluck or make for a family dinner (some setting in which caloric content is less of a concern).
