Rating: Summary: WONDERFUL RECIPES Review: After using this cookbook neighbors, friends, and family members have all wanted the book. This book is definitly a crowd pleaser. The recipes are different, yet easy to make. It's the best cookbook I have found.
Rating: Summary: love it Review: As much as I have enjoyed this book, it's been rather frustrating in that there are few to no pictures of the recipes I'm attempting. Add into this the frustration of not knowing what some of the brands are and, as a result, not really knowing how to substitute.I would recommend this book to people who love nostalgia or would like to have it as a reference book.

Rating: Summary: Great for all cooks--beginner to experienced Review: Every recipe I've tried has been wonderful; from Mexican Macaroni Salad to the Apple Bavarian Torte. No pictures in this book but there's a brief descripton of the recipes' history. This is a must cookbook for every kitchen.
Rating: Summary: One of my Favorite Cook Books! Review: I bought this cookbook several years ago when I ordered it from a catalog that sold books at bargain prices and it was definitely worth buying. It is a huge hardcover book and the only downside is that it's kind of heavy but it has some good recipes that come from some of the major food brands you find in the grocery stores and a lot of the recipes are easy to make. Okay, I like gourmet meals but I also like more every day basic type meals too and this book has plenty of those kinds of recipes and I recommend this cook book!
Rating: Summary: Easy to follow and delicious food! Review: I have this book and I use it all the time. It has a great variety of recipes from appetizers to desserts and they are all easy to make and taste wonderful. I would recommend it to everyone who likes to cook. It's the best cookbook I have!
Rating: Summary: slightly dated, but lovely none the less Review: Last Christmas I got this cookbook as a present from my mom. She saw it, knew it was my first year on my own, and that I was getting sick of spaghetti and ramen. I read through it many, many times and wanted to try out the recipes. Some of them were terribly dated, calling for ingredients that went out of style with my grandma's generation. However, many of them are indeed timeless (I've always wanted to know how to make salisbury steak!) and looked like fun to make. Before this book was (sadly) stolen from me, I had the chance to make the tomato sour cream casserole(with Doritos), the fruit sherbet, the fruit juice whip, the red velvet cake, and fried green tomatoes. Every recipe came out wonderfully, even without pictures to refer to. My personal favourite was the sherbet recipe, and I have made it with nearly every fruit I ccan get my hands on. One of these days I'll get myself a new copy of this book, and try out some of the "real" recipes.
Rating: Summary: Useful & Fun Review: This book has my favorite cake recipes and the most useful recipe and tips on doughnuts that I have ever come across. A friend of mine borrowed my copy a couple of years ago and never gave it back, so now I must re-buy it. Worth every penny -- very fun, and very practical.
Rating: Summary: love it Review: This book was given to me by one of my aunts for Christmas about 6 years ago. I love it. It was my first cook book and I found the recipes easy to make, had most of the ingredients on hand and have loved everything that I have made with it. When I left home I had to leave the original book behind because my family did not want to give it up. I have since bought a new one and use it frequently.
Rating: Summary: Fun cookbook! Review: This cookbook is really easy and wonderful to use! The recipes in it strike a memory with classic food items, commercials and foods from growing up. I recommend this cookbook to anyone who likes to cook.
