Better Homes and Gardens New Cookbook (Better Homes & Gardens Plaid)

This is an American book, and one should be prepared to the mentions of American products and measures. This is also not an advanced cookbook - but then, it isn't what it claims to be either.That said, this is an excellent starter cookbook and guide to kitchen-keeping not just for a new bride or groom, but anyone who has moved out of their parents' home and has no idea what that funny-shaped pan or pot is for (and wants to learn).Directions and explanations are very good, the recipes truly easy, and the really nice make-it-your-own pages (which let you select options you add up to a specific dish) are a wonderful teaching tool. Ideas of how to use leftovers of any particular dish (two dishes presented side-by-side as cook today, eat today and tomorrow combos) are also a fantastic idea.Generally very recommended, but not for anyone who already knows how to cook. It's a good book of basics, not anything to put polish on your fancy cooking skills.

This is my first cookbook (before that I had my moms that I used to read). I'm very happy because paper is really good, there are pictures in color and some basic things that I was looking for to find.For now I'm very pleased and I hope to use this book for many, many years.

an already excellent cookbook, but our old one was on its last legs. i saw this online as an xmas presnet, and its rigbound, a great book, all for a tenner incl postage. you CANT GO WRONG with this American classic, at an price that is value for money. well done Amazon

Do not get the modern updated version! They changed the recipes to be more healthy and none of them work. Stick with this edition and you can't go wrong!

I am pleased with my cook book I like the hard cover also the recipe's

This cook book had some of my old favorites and some interesting new ones. I would highly recommend this to anyone who loves to cook.

Great classic cookbook of the USA.

i'm satisfied with my purchase
