This is my all-time favorite cookbook. If I don't know how to prepare something, this is the first place I look. I have bought copies of this book for newlyweds and college graduates. ( )

My favorite and most used cookbook. This is where I learned all the beginning stuff. Full of very tasty and modern dishes with great photos and detailed instructions. I've almost worn mine out, and this is what I try to find for new brides. ( )

Overall, a good basic cookbook. It's very good for people who are just learning to cook. ( )
