I was not a stranger to this cookbook, in fact my old one got so ratty I was replacing it. Then ended up ordering a copy for my daughter as well. She grew up eating a lot of food from this cookbook, so wants to carry on the tradition! The recipes are simple to follow with ingredients easy to get a hold of. There is a great selection of items and for us many of them have become family favorites.I love this cookbook. I needed another one, my first is very loved.The book is great to use, I have this one and ordered this copy for my daughter in law who loves baking.I have had this book for many years. It has all the basic recipes for yeast breads, quick breads, muffins, pancakes, waffles plus many many more. It's a book I don't want to be without! My daughter is off to college in the fall, so I bought a new copy for her - she doesn't want to be without it either!This is a bread recipe book I first recieved when I got married......50 years ago this year.
