Great Cookbook

[Sherry · Rating 5 out of 5]

This is hands-down the most used cookbook in my collection! Although there's nothing too adventurous here, every recipe is a tried-and-true standard, and even though most recipes are "southern" style, there's plenty of good American comfort food anyone can enjoy, regardless of where you hail from. The benefit of being compliled by Southern Living is that these recipes have been tested over the decades, so every recipe is a winner, every single time! Any time anyone asks me for a good cookbook, this is the one I tell them to buy. It's right up there with Betty Crocker's Cookbook and The Joy of Cooking!

So many delicious recipes. I love all of the Southern Living cook books.

[Kristina Froid · Rating 5 out of 5]

This is a great all in one cookbook for people who like to make (and eat!) Southern Comfort food. If you're a dieter, this probably isn't the book for you, though there are a few low cal meals. My favorite thing about this book is how straight forward the recipes are and that there is always cook time listed. You'll find yourself, if you're anything like me, buying lots of cookbooks but only using this one.

Love these beautiful books, I made the flan from this book. The flan recipe is on page 166. So creamy, smooth and delicious. I have quite a few SL books, now and then, I will go in to my cookbook library and grab one book. I'll browse it till I find some recipes that look yummy and easy and then I'll look at ingredients to see if I have it on hand. Love SL books because the recipes are really good, the pictures are delicious looking and the books offer such a variety of dishes.

Most recipes look tasty and easy, without too much reliance on convenience foods.

This is one of my most-used cookbooks. Excellent informal as well as elegant recipes with a wide range of cook's experience levels. I collect the annual Southern Living cookbooks and use them all, but besides the annual Christmas books that also have menus and recipes, this is by far the best cookbook Southern Living has published.

I feel the need to rate this because I use this cookbook so incredibly much. I've used it for everything from baby showers to nice dinners to Thanksgiving desserts. This book provides not only recipes, but detailed 'how to' pictures so that even complicated meals are easy. Highly recommended for anyone who spends lots of time in their kitchen.

If I could only have one cookbook it would have to be this one. This book is fool-proof. I am not the best cook in the world but when I make stuff from this cookbook it turns out delicious and wonderful.

[Shawnie · Rating 5 out of 5]

This has been my favorite cookbook for several years. I love the charts and tables and often reference them for meat cooking temps and times. Today, I'm making the Crumb-Topped Apple Pie!
