The Great Big Butter Cookbook

by Diana C. Von Glahn (Editor)

When America needed a phrase to mean “It’s as good as it gets,” it’s no surprise that the winner was “It’s like butter!” There are many foods that aspire to be as rich, decadent, and versatile as butter is in the kitchen, but any chef worth his salt knows there is nothing like the real thing. Everything is unquestionably better when made with butter, and The Great Big Butter Cookbook celebrates butter in every form, from flavored spreads to baked goods, to sauces, to main courses. This comprehensive, no-holds-barred look on the world’s favorite ingredient is full of history, factoids, and helpful hints for getting the most out of butter. With more than 300 classic recipes.

I don't know if you can ever mark a cookbook as "read," but I did because I had to return it to the library.

I loved the recipes and pictures in this book as they made my mouth water and, honestly, I would have licked some of the pages had I been left alone with the book.

I can't say much for the food in real life, though. I made the farm cookies and some icing. The icing was really good and the cookies were good although I had to substitute Fruity Pebbles for corn flakes because that's all I had.
