Farm Journal's Best-Ever Recipes

This cookbook came out in 1977--and I was fortunate enough to buy a copy then. I now own dozens of cookbooks, but none have as many wonderful recipes in one place as this one. If I want a really GOOD recipe, it's the one I turn to. If I could give it more than five stars, I definitely would! (I've even considered buying an extra copy so that if--horror of horrors--something happened to mine, I would have a spare!)

I *LOVE* this book. I have tried many (probably most) of the recipes, and each was an unqualified success, which became a treasured favorite. The recipes are unfailingly delectable, easy to make, and don't require any special or exotic ingredients. If you want to be begged for your recipes, get a copy of this book ... truly wonderful.

I am a cookbook "buff". I have over 200 cookbooks on my shelf, and this is the one I turn to time and again. The recipes are down to earth and easy to follow. The ingredients are not exotic or unattainable. Every recipe I have tried from this book has been successful. This is not an exaggeration! I am currently looking for another copy of this out-of-print cookbook for my sister who is getting married. An excellent book for the beginner cook, or for one with experience. This book is truly worth the time and effort of tracking down another one.

The recipes are easy to follow; the ingredients are easy to find. This is good, plain all American cooking. I have NEVER had a bad result from ANY recipe I've tried out of this book. I have been searching for an extra copy of this book, for my mother, for YEARS. I have been just photo-copying the recipes out of it, and mailing them down to her. I have been a modest collector of cookbooks, and this one, again, is the very best one I have
