One of my favorite cookbooks. Great recipes, with added twists so it's not more of the same old,same old.

The What's Cooking group really, really enjoyed this cookbook! The James Beard award was well deserved for this comprehensive collection of recipes. It includes all courses and beverages; meat and vegetarian options; how-to tips, photographs and nutrition information. Most ingredients are easy to find, and the recipes are well written. And! And! We enjoyed the way the food tasted! Bonus Points!

We sampled the following recipes...

- Tuna-Stuffed Peppers
- Southwestern Layered Bean Dip
- Country-Style Chicken Liver Mousse
- Cucumber-Lemonade Chiller
- Skillet-Seared Tomatoes with Melted Gruyere
- Cheddar Cornmeal Biscuits with Chives
- Mozzarella en Carrozza
- Roasted Vegetable Sandwiches
- Penne with Artichoke Hearts
- Picnic Oven-Fried Chicken
- Shish Kebab with Tahini Sauce
- Cherry Ice Cream Pie with Chocolate Cookie Crust
- Peach & Blueberry Cobbler

With few exceptions we all really enjoyed these recipes. Flavor was not sacrificed even with substitutions like canola oil for butter and whole wheat flour for white flour. Highly recommend for cooks at all ability levels.

This cookbook is ah-mah-zing. There are a million different sections(everything from appetizers to desserts and even drinks). There are a ton of pictures, so you can see exactly what you're getting into. The recipes have nutrition information attached, so it's easy to pick things to make that fall into your diet. The tips that come along with the recipes are very helpful. I can't wait to cook my way through this cookbook.

Almost every recipe is delicious!

[Virginia Brien · Rating 3 out of 5]

The recipes looked good but not all that simple, not difficult but not a lot of ingredients. Also there was something about the look I didn’t like. Too many of the pictures had that blurry look to the back of the plate that us amateurs use to disguise a not great table setting. No desire to buy.

To balance out my daily dose of cookies I bought this one because it had some amazing recipes for pulled BBQ pork sandwiches, black bean soup and guides to making gnocchi, all with nutritional information and over 400 recipes with photos.

Great recipes beautiful photos. Got this book from the library and began to go through it to mark recipes to photocopy but got through the snack and salad chapter and realized I was bookmarking every other page. Will probably buy even though I've thought I have enough cook books.
