Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)This is a basic vintage/classic cookbook. The introductory pages include some no-frills basic information about cooking methods, temperatures, measurements, etc. This information is covered in a very concise manner, taking up only five pages. Twenty-four tabbed recipe chapters follow, each with its own table of contents on the first page. These chapters include appetizers, beverages, breads, cakes, candies, canning & preserving, cereals, cheese, cookies, eggs, fish & wild game, frozen desserts, fruits, gelatin, icings & fillings, meats, pastries, poultry, puddings, salads & dressings, sandwiches, sauces, soups, and vegetables. Unlike many old cookbooks, the recipes DO include oven temperatures. They are composed of basic ingredients and many will, by nature, be more time-consuming to prepare than those in most modern cookbooks. Not all ingredients are healthy (sugar, shortening, etc.).
If you're interested in a very basic cookbook with an easy-to-reference format, or in vintage homemaking books, this is a nice one. If you're looking for a comprehensive recipe book, a book of "quick and easy" recipes, or whole/health food, I recommend finding something else.
