Good in every way!
As others have shared, I have had this book since the 70s and find it more applicable than ever now. It got me through the lean days putting my husband through graduate school, through raising two kids on a budget (while working full time outside the home), and now I'm sending a copy to my son and his fiance as they start out. As we strive to simplify our lives, be more "green", be more economical in tough times, and be more healthy with our food, this book is a MUST!!

Wow! I Love This Cookbook
This cookbook is so much more than recipes. It's an approach to food that's gentle, kind, thoughtful and practical. The recipes are great, nothing to out there, just good food my family will love. The ideology behind this book is nothing less than inspirational. Highly recommended for those interested in taking care of our bodies, our families and the entire planet.

Simple cooking for all
When I visited a friend she recommended this cookbook to me. She told me that no matter her circumstances, she feels like she always can come up with a meal with this book. Since we are feeling the pinch of rising prices and less money, I bought the book. What she said is correct. You can make some tasty, substantial meals with pretty much what you have on hand.

The author compiled recipes from frugal people, many of whom were missionaries that had to learn to "make do" what local fare. The recipes are simple, easy to understand and fix, and satisfying.
