More than 1,800 photos, 1000 time-tested recipes, and the backing of America’s most trusted authority on food: The Good Housekeeping Institute. What more could a beginning cook want? How about hundreds of techniques, all invitingly illustrated? From stuffing a beef tenderloin to fluting a pie crust, this welcoming cookbook shows you in detail how to make perfect meals. Try American favorites like chili meat loaf; Mediter-ranean dishes like couscous stuffed artichokes; Asian gourmet like Salmon Teriyaki; holiday feasts and delicious desserts—including baklava, biscotti, and sweet crepes.
This could be my favorite cookbook that I have encountered. After eleven years of consistent use, many pages are falling out, but I continue to stuff them back into place because I can't stand to loose them. This cookbook provides a mix of foundational information with a variety of veggie and meat recipes. The photographs are both visually pleasing and instructional. I have yet to be disappointed from a recipe out of this book!
