The Essential Mormon Cookbook: Green Jell-O, Funeral Potatoes, and Other Secret Combinations

Summary: Great recipes that take little time!
Review: I love this cookbook! It has many of the recipes I remember when I was young plus ones I've enjoyed over the years at friends' homes. And the recipes are easy to follow, filled with ingredients I already have in my home, and they don't try to turn me into the next Martha Stewart. The author allows short cuts...which is the way I like to cook. These recipes have definitely passed my family's taste test, especially when they ask me to make the items again!

Summary: fun cookbook with family favorites
Review: I thought this was a fun cookbook with lots of easy favorites. It is divided into seasonal categories. It is well written and is in an eye pleasing format. It contains no pictures, which is why I did not give it 5 stars. It contains a variety of recipes that are handy to have in one book, such as Spinach Dip, Carrot cake, pie crust, apple crisp, lemon bars, enchiladas, etc. I am looking forward to using this book.

Summary: Not too enlightening
Review: Most of these recipes will be quite familiar, especially if you are from "fly-over country." The jello salads, cheesy ("funeral") potatoes, casseroles etc. are staples at any church carry-in dinner.

Summary: Essential mormon Cook Book
Review: This is a GREAT basic cook book. I give it as a shower or wedding gift. The feed back I have gotten from recipients is very positive. I have enjoyed making the Eclairs. They were a big hit. I especially liked the seasonal format. G Harrison
