American Home All-Purpose Cookbook.

Rating:
Summary: An excellent choice for a small cookbook library!
Review: I bought this book in 1966, when it was first published, and it has been a mainstay in my kitchen, even though I have over 100 cookbooks. The end papers in the front and back have such useful information as food equivalents, equivalent weights and measures, substitutions and helpful hints for garnishes and decorations. I always use their roasting tables for meat and poultry, and I have many favorites among the bread and cookie recipes.

Summary: I need a new one - I've worn my old copy out!
Review: Seventeen years ago, when I went off to college, my mom gave me an already dog-eared, threadbare copy of the American Home All Purpose Cookbook. After a 10 year career in the restaurant industry, and a huge collection of cookbooks, it is still the cookbook I turn to for authoritative and traditional recipes, menus, and entertaining advice. Finding out that this book is out of print is awful news and I will have to take my copy to someone for some restoration / repair. If you can find a copy of this book, in any condition, scoop it up.
