Work with me on this one... For the newbie foodie who wants to get up to speed on cooking and food with a dash of old school. Here are TWO books devoted to all things FOOD!
First, a newer and MUST HAVE version of the classic cookbook from Better Homes and Gardens. This HARD COVER book is from 1996 and is in VERY lightly used condition with minimal wear to the covers from use and re-shelving. INSIDE the pages are at least 99% free of any marks, stains or writing. Retailed for $34.95.
The Cookbook's Companion This soft cover cookbook is in lightly read condition with just a little wear to the covers edges and tips from reading and re-shelving. INSIDE the pages are at least 99% free of any marks, stains or writing.
But to tell you just how good these two cookbooks are......Better Homes and Gardens New Cookbook
A chapter on Grilling and one devoted exclusively to Pasta are among the additions to the fresh and updated 11th edition of the famed red plaid cookbook from the nation's heartland. Also new are half of the 1200 recipes, symbols for quick and low-fat dishes, 450+ photographs and individual nutrition analysis.
The lead chapter, Cooking Basics, covers ingredients, techniques and menu plans. The following 20 chapters are arranged alphabetically by main ingredients (Beans, Rice & Grains; Meat) or course (Appetizers & Snacks; Desserts) and are marked (in the ring-bound edition) by color differentiated tabs. Tradition and today's thinking coexist comfortably here, with the recipes for Grits and for Cheese and Basil Polenta with Tomato-Basil Sauce appearing side by side. There's a Pepper-Lime Chicken a few steps away from Chicken Divan Casserole; Chocolate-Cherry frozen Yogurt next to a trifle recipe, and Chili Rellenos Casserole following a venerable Welsh Rabbit. Recipes calling for fresh ingredients healthfully and sensibly prepared and notably straightforward instructions on masterfully designed, inviting and family cook-friendly pages mark this comprehensive collection.
