Customer Reviews

Back to my childhood....
The recipes in this book are amazing. I especially like the roasted pumpkin seeds (I didn't know you had to boil them first!) and the mustard. Making these a la carte items from scratch sounds daunting--but it isn't with this book as your guide. Small touches like these make whoever you're cooking for know they're SPECIAL. And you don't have to be Martha Stewart to succeed! I found out about this book browsing my the bookshelf in my mom's kitchen in New Hampshire. She let me borrow it but wanted it back. Now I know why.

Truly Unique
I found a reference to this after having searched the internet for marshmallow recipes. The recipe was posted online, but I bought the book figuring it was the right thing to do. I had NO idea how delightful this would be. Most of the recipes I've never seen anyplace else (gingerbread cookie MIX!?!) The marshmallow recipe alone has won me a couple marriage proposals. If you have any impulse to cook or bake, please buy this book. You will be amazed.

Better than most Cookbooks
I have had this cookbook since the 80's and use it regularly. My copy is yellowed, stained, torn, taped and well loved. I think I've tried nearly every recipe in it, including the recipe for caviar. The recipes are all comprehensive and easy to follow.

Some of my favorites include; black pumpernickel bread, fresh chorizo sausage; and the homemade chili sauce (extra tomatoes in summer?-- try this recipe). There's even a recipe for tofu in it! (And pastrami, too!) If you can find it, get it. You won't be disapointed!
