My girlfriend, then wife, then ex-wife had this cookbook in the early 1980's and I found it to be the most complete of all of the 15 or so cookbooks I owned. With the illustrations and exact instructions, it made following any of the recipes easy and successful. My wife kept her copy and when I regained my passion for the culinary arts, (I used to own a restaurant) I was able to find it on EBay and purchase several copies. I gave them out to friends that attend my pot-luck parties and they were thrilled! I have since ordered a few extra copies to give to future friends. I believe this book is a must for every kitchen. I hope you will enjoy it as much as I do.

The book seemed to have the recipes that I was after but I wanted to replace my old existing Good Housekeeping Illustrated book that was handed down from mom with one in better condition. When the book arrived it's cover did not look anything like the cover shown (and my existing book) but rather was mostly a blank beige covered cook book.

I already owned this cookbook and it is the first book I go to when I am looking for cooking information. It is beautifully illustrated and that is the primary reason why I bought it as a gift. I like to see how an unfamiliar recipe looks before trying something new. In the front section it features full color photographs of each recipe. Each recipe has illustrations describing procedures, as well as a time guide to tell you how long it will take to prepare each recipe from start to finish. It has other basic information which you would expect in any good, comprehensive cookbook (equivalences,kitchen tools, cuts of meat, buying tips, etc.) and I would especially recommend it to novice cooks or anyone who feels that their kitchen knowledge is lacking. I have many other cookbooks that I could use, but the user friendly illustrations of this particular book draw me back to it time and time again.Read full review
This cookbook actually came with its original dust jacket. It is in excellent condition, and that is saying a lot because it is over 30 years old. This cookbook was given to me over 30 years ago, and I still refer to it for the right way to prepare food. This one I gave to my 13 year old granddaughter. Her turn to learn how to prepare food the right way.

One of my top 3 favorite cookbooks. Lost mine 2 years ago, so was so pleased to find a replacement - and one that was in much better shape than the one I had with cake batter, bbq sauce, and berry stains on. This book was actually a little better than advertised.
