review 1: Family Bible. Outstanding (so far) in nearly every respect. I've cooked around 40 or so of the non-desert recipes and nearly all the desert and baking, and I really love this book. Classic recipes made with painstaking care, very helpful reviews of kitchen gadgets, and I love the chapter devoted exclusively to thanksgiving staples. In my opinion, the only stumble is to be found in the Tex-Mex recipes. Perhaps there is a regional difference, but I found the few I've tried to be very bland. Truly awful - like Chili's. So to those of us in the southwest, simply tear out those thirty pages and the less said the better. Afterward it's pure gold. I've gravitated more and more to this cookbook as time goes on and now it's my go to book for nearly everything. This book r... moreeplaces a whole shelf of inferiors.
review 2: If you are going to purchase ANY cookbook, I recommend this be it. We actually purchased this and the videos that go with it (the show really is cute and comes on PBS) and they are an absolute necessity. I have my degree in Culinary Arts and this is my go-to book when I'm looking for something. What's most neat about these people (book and videos) is that they have taken recipes and tried it every way to perfect it so that you don't have to go through all of that trouble. They explain all of this to you, letting you know why you're doing this this and this instead of that that and that and make it very interesting in the process. Between you and me, my most favorite recipe on here is the drop biscuits - they are so delicious - but shhh don't tell anyone (people are always asking me for the recipe and I tell them it's a secret). less
