1. You really can't miss with this one! There are tons of recipes
which have been printed in community/church cookbooks across America.
Better Homes and Gardens took the recipes from these cookbooks, tested
them and put the best ones in this book. Hence, I purchased the book
thinking, "How could I go wrong with this selection?!"

I have owned this book for one month, and to date, I have made Petit
Pain au Chocolate, Monte Cristo Sandwiches, Chocolate-Molasses Lace
Cookies, and Beef Stroganoff. All were excellent! No duds thus far. I
own hundreds of cookbooks and have been cooking for 18 years. I
recommend this book.

2. Diversified Hometown Recipes. Each little town has probably put
out a small cookbook sometime, Best Loved Community Recipes highlights
the tastiest.

You'll find tried and true favorites along with new twists on old
recipes. Eggplant Appetizers, Mary's Cheeseball, and Mini Calzones
could spice up a gathering. If you need a good basic recipe like
Caramel Corn, Oatmeal Bread, or Hot Cross Buns- this is your cookbook.
From muffins to rolls, cookies, cakes and pies, you'll find what you
need. Try the delicious Apple Dessert Pancake, I served it for dinner
one night with rave reviews! Grand recipes for fish and seafood as
well as meats, pizzas and noodle dishes fill the 464 pages. Do
yourself or someone else a favor and add this cookbook to your
collection. Your crew will thank you time and time again.

3. Fantastic; Imagine if you could sit down and open a book of your
Grandmothers, Aunts and Ladies of the Church Auxiliary's favorite
recipes. That is exactly what this book is. Imagine being able to bake
that perfect egg custard pie just like your Grandmother used to make.
Or perhaps make that wonderful chicken casserole like Mrs. Smith in
the church choir. You never could get her to write down what that
secret ingredient was.

It takes all the recipes from the many community cookbooks from around
the United States and picks out the most popular and requested ones.
They are then nicely pictured with a photograph of the finished dish
as well as illustrations on how to do some of the techniques. Also
included is information about the cookbook it was taken from and a
quote or information from the person who contributed it

Reaching for this cookbook is just like reaching out to touch a dear
and trusted friend. Not only are all the ingredients listed but also
those techniques you are a little unsure about are explained well and
then they are illustrated also. I was never sure how the best way was
to take the skin off chicken pieces and this book shows exactly where
to start and how the pieces should look when you are finished

4. Throw the rest of your cookbooks out! A reader from Grand Forks, ND
USA says this is by far my favorite cookbook. It is wonderfully laid
out, and every recipe I've tested has been wonderfully delicious.
Every friend I've lent it to has gone out and bought their own copy,
after deciding that they'd like copies of more than half the
recipes!!! Every recipe has a finished product picture, complete list
of ingredients in a sidebar, step-by-step instructions with pictures
if anything is unclear, as well as tips and tricks (e.g. if something
can be done ahead of time)

It's not like the type of cookbooks where you can look up a chocolate
chip cookie recipe and make it... but I've made approximately 15% of
the recipes so far and loved each one. I highly recommend Better Home
and Gardens America's Best-Loved Community Recipes Volume I and II. My
favorite recipes are in Volume I, though it's somewhat difficult to
find. Also, don't loan this out, I've had to buy another copy of
Volume II because my first one was borrowed and never returned.

5. My favorite cookbook ever! I lost my copy of this cookbook way
back in 1995, and have been heartbroken over it's loss ever since, and
have not stopped looking to replace it. When I got my computer and
tried looking for it at Amazon.com, lo and behold, there it was! I
immediately ordered another copy. If you are a busy woman, who likes
delicious food that is easy to prepare and always a hit with picky
eaters of all ages, this is the book for you!

6. I love this cookbook and plan to give it to all the kids. I use it
every week. When does the next one come out.

7. Great recipes with you-CAN-do-this instructions! I found the book
to be informative, entertaining and full of marvelously diverse
recipes! The "chefs" were eager to share their offerings in an
easy-to-follow and well-written manner. It is possible to set a table
for 2 to 200 using this book. A most welcome and well-used addition to
my collection!

8. One of the best cook books I own (and I own a lot!). A coworker
and I both have this book. We have yet to try a recipe we did not
like. She bought one for her step daughter and daughter-in-law who
also love the book. The recipes are easy and can be used for every day
or special cooking
