sabryson's Full Review: Marion Cunningham et al - The Fannie Farmer Cookbo...
I love to cook. My dad loves cook. From the time I was three years old,I loved to help my dad cook. This is where "The Fannie Farmer Cookbook" comes in. You see,I still have the dog-eared copy that my dad and I used to use. Plus I have the reissue,that I now use.
If you are looking for traditional,all-American recipes,look no further. "The Fannie Farmer Cookbook" is just what you need. Oh,it contains offerings such as,Asian,Italian,Vegetarian and Indian foods,yet at it's heart and soul,are dishes that have been in this country for so long,that you can't help but think of them as traditional American dishes. From Old-Fashioned Beef Stew to Chicken and Dumplings to Mushroom and Potato Casserole to Chicken Jambalaya,it's all here. With 1,990 recipes,if it's good old-fashioned home cooked dishes you are looking for,you can probably find it in here.
I have a multitude of cookbooks that I use fairly often,but this is one of those that I use so much,I have had to tape the spine and clean little dried bits of dough off of it. This is the cookbook my husband turns to when he wants to cook and the one I find myself returning to again and again.
This book contains sections on not only cooking,but on dinner parties,wines,staples for your kitchen,herbs and spices,kitchen equipment,
cooking terms and procedures and even a section on menus and table settings.
For over one hundred years,this cookbook has been periodically updated and has always been a top seller. Add it to your collection of cookbooks and see just what you've been missing.
