Each recipe has been tested and approved by BH&G's test kitchen." 8 Customers Reviewed this book: (from amazon.com) 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 |
