The Zondervan Family Cookbook

Summary: Hey, I have that ingredient
Review: Too many cookbooks by famous chefs do not contain the type of recipe we want to make on a regular basis. Quail eggs poached in yak milk is just not going to be ready for dinner tonight.

The Zondervan Family Cookbook is loaded with good recipes made with ingredients that most of us have in the cupboard right now. The collection of good eats in this book include simple to prepare to elegant dishes for meals when you have special guests. They have been tried and proven.

The book is a good read also. Plenty of sidebars with stories of how a recipe came about or what makes the dish special for the contributor. I like to see that in a cookbook as it gives it a lot more personality than just a collection of ingredient lists.

If you are just starting to cook or if you hae many years of experience, there will be a few "keepers" in here for you. Hmmm, I think we'll be having Popover Chicken tonight. Hey, I have all the indredients for it already!
