I loved this book. Here's why: First of all, if you've read anything of Jonny Bowden's before, you know he has a great writing style, strong opinions, a huge amount of knowledge and he's funny. That alone should make anything he writes worth buying. But this book ...

Joy of Cooking: All About Vegetarian

Irma S. Rombauer, Ethan Becker, ...

Best Spanikopita
This cookbook is worth it for the Spanikopita recipe alone-make it with fresh spinach and freeze the leftovers. Reheat at 350 for 20-30 minutes or so and it tastes almost as good as fresh. My copy accidentally ended up in the Goodwill pile and I miss it so much I am ...

Talk About Good Cookbook

Louisiana Lafayette Junior League, LA. Junior League of Lafayette

Junior League of Lafayette, Inc., 1967

TALK ABOUT GOOD
This is most likely the BEST cookbook in existence, defiantly if you like Cajun food. The fact that it has a binding that allows pages to lay flat, remain open shows how the publisher intended this book to be used, in the kitchen. Wife wore out the 1st copy I bought ...
