BEST COOKBOOK
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 15 years ago
The best recipes for great eating. Not for simple or easy or fast cooking.
A terrific All-Round General Cookbook!

For those who only have a basic collection of cookbooks, consider adding this up there right next the the Joy of Cooking. All these recipes are tried and true, not elaborate, and tested for good results, "Tested Til Perfect", in their test kitchen. Many are basic fare recipes but each recipe delivers an incredibly good dish. Yes, some are more tropical or ethnic in flavour. Canadian Living, with its magazine and television shows, produces & tests over 500 recipes each year. What you have here is a selection of the 350 best. However, this is not just your boring old basic Cooking 101 cookbook. There's a real focus on both regional specialties and ingredients and dishes that celebrate Canada's modern multicultural mosaic. Re: Comments Below, If you were looking for "Canadian" recipes and didn't like the ethnic ones, then you've missed the point. Canada is as multicultural as it gets, the folks very openminded about ethnic food, so why wouldn't this cookbook have "tiramisu" or curried dishes or fusion dishes? Besides the "truly Canadian" dishes such as saskatoon berry pie would be impossible to reproduce if sasks don't grow in your area.
good cookbook

i've used quite a few recipes from the book and while a lot of them turned out really great, there have been a few that have turned out pretty bad (like the butter tarts - runny and tasted like corn syrup). some of the recipes in there though are SO good (like the black bean soup, old fashioned chicken pot pie, slow and easy real barbecued ribs, etc).

This is the cookbook that I go to the most (and I collect cookbooks, so I've got a million of them). Every time the recipes are perfect. It's quite like Mark Bittman's How to cook everything, but I seem to go to this one quite a bit more then the Bittmans. I use it so much that it's filthy with spilled sauce stains!No pictures, but the best basic 'how to cook anything' book.
