Watch out Rachel Ray, Better Homes and Gardens is still here and better than ever.  This book really does have everything in it.  This book has always been known for it's great variety of food categories with delicious recipes. — Let's go over what most of the books all have.  The first few sections I call the Helpful Sections because they have lots of good general cooking information.  There's the equivalent page that shows size/amount of whole food and how much it equals to when cut.  For example - one pound of blueberries equals three… read full review »

I love to cook, especially during the Christmas holidays.  My favorite is cookies. I have lots of cookbooks that pertain to that.  What I do is read them all, just like a library book, then I start from scratch, with thoughts of sugar plums dancing in my head.  I will combine different ingredients from an assortment of receipes, then I add a cup of Amish yeast bread dough which I have modified.  I come up with some wonderful tasting cookies that always stay soft for the holidays.  My friends and relatives love to receive them as Christmas gifts.  — My… read full review »

This cookbook has so many options and choices inside.  There is a variety of quick meals and really great tips for substitutions and measurements.  It is really great because they separate it into appetizer, soup, entree etc sections which are really helpful when you don't want to spend forever looking up what you want to cook.  I also love the pink color and the fact that some of the proceeds are donated to breast cancer research.  Way to go betty… read full review »
