Although this book is out of print it is an excellent book for new inexperienced cooks..Covers all the basics well. There are many recipe books with great recipes but not many that cover the basics as well as this one. There were two subsequent editions, also out of print, that may be available with expanded recipe content but still have all the basic material as well.

I bought this book for my son. Although it may be an older book, the information is invaluable. I have used mine for decades. It's not just recipes, it's information about the best way to cook meats, vegetables, soups, stews. There is information about temperatures, pans, what to keep in the pantry. Although it doesn't have microwave cooking, this book is excellent for beginning cooks.

The book has so many recipes I don't know where to start. It has definitions which help on some terms I had heard before but didn't lnow what it meant. It also broke down budget friendly and calorie friendly recipes. I also appriciated how the book defined cuts of beef with a diagram of where on the animal the cut of beef/pork comes from. No pictures so you don't really know what something is supposed to look like, but still worth having.
Great cookbook in pristine condition, like new! It has all the recipes that I hoped would be in there.
