The Great Big Butter Cookbook: Because Everything Is Better with Butter

the butter cookbook has become one of my "go to" cookbooks. i bought one for me, then sent one to my mom--she loved it, as well. it is not a cookbook that starts with a pound of butter in each recipe; it's a cookbook full of good recipes with good ingredients. i would rather eat tasty food with good ingredients; so, i rarely substitute anything for butter taste-i just eat less. i highly recommend this cookbook and feel sure that you'll find some new family favorite recipes!

This is a beautiful book--literally! It's pleasing to the eye and the recipes are pleasing to the palate! They are very classic recipes. I haven't yet checked to see if they call for more butter than is normal but I suspect they do not. At any rate, you will be pleased with photographs of many recipes and the fact that there are so many classic recipes included.
