Short and sweet if you love to cook The Old Farmer's Almanac Everyday Cookbook is a great place to start. The recipes are tried and true, easy to follow and lots of beautiful photos of the finished products. I grow a lot of my own summer produce and their canning section is an extremely helpful reference source for preparation information, spices, general canning tips, etc. I've had my old dogged-eared cookbook for years but this year for Mother's Day my husband bought [me] the newest edition!
Unlike some "Everyday" cookbooks, The Old Farmer's Almanac Everyday Cookbook had great everyday recipes with quick prep time and serves at least 6-8 hungry folks; enough for most family dinners. One of my many favorite recipes from the book is their, "Mother's Old-Fashioned Chicken and Dumplings!" I'm pretty dang sure it was after tasting this dish Campbell's snagged their, UMM,UMM, GOOD catch phrase. I also recommend the "Granny's Best Chicken Soup" . . . no I didn't submit the recipe.
With more than 400 recipes The Old Farmer's Almanac Everyday Cookbook I guarentee you will find a new favorite meal for your family. The book retails at $24.95, but I've researched it on some book websites where it sells from $14.95 - $16.95. Pricey, yes, but well worth it. I've had my old copy for a while. I was excited to try some of their new and updated recipes from the new edition.
In my opinion The Old Farmer's Almanac Everyday Cookbook is a wonderful cookbook for old, young and non-farmers, too!
Noteworthy: The Old Farmer's Almanac Everyday Cookbook makes a great gift for the novice and experienced cook.
