Classic Home Cooking Reviews

    My go-to cookbook. Mine is a mess with dribbles and spots and notes and pages the have been wet and then dried.

    In addition to the recipes and great layout and photography, this book has wonderful photos of how to do things--boning, straining, etc etc etc. The kind of stuff that you're never sure if you're doing it right--there are pictures.

    Favorites:
    Chicken Pot Pie
    Sunday Roast Chicken (mmmm stuffing)
    Sandwich Rolls
    French Pancakes
    Poultry Stock
    Tarragon Chicken with Lime
    French Onion Soup


    Yummy:
    Beef Florentine
    Marinated Loin of Pork with Pineapple
    Polenta with Grilled Vegetables
    Three-Cheese Macaroni
    Caribbean Rice and Peas
    Yankee Succotash
    Fruited Banana Bread
    Biscuits
    Meat Pie with Potato Topping
    Chicken with Sage and Orange

    Not Worth Making Again:
    Spinach Roulade
    Cabbage with Garlic (too garlicky for me)
    Spinach Gnocchi with Tomato Sauce (disaster!)

    One of the cookbooks in our collection that we use the most. Good basic recipes and some not so basic recipes. One of the first cookbooks I pull out to look through when I'm in the mood for cooking because the recipes are good AND because it is illustrated exceptionally well.
