Product Description

I love this cookbook so much that I have purchased many of them and given them as wedding gifts. I also love its companion cookbook called Celebrations. I really like how they are spiral bound and will lay flat on the counter while I'm using them.

This is a great need-something-fast-but-good cookbook. It uses common ingredients to make good versions of dishes of which many of us have good memories. Everything we've made from this book has been wonderful. I think I had issues with the title because it didn't represent all the recipes I thought should be considered "essential Mormon" recipes--you may disagree.

Serves 10 to This book is organized in a very different way from any cookbook I've encountered. I received this as a gift and it has become a real favorite in our house. They are not complex. Add milk or cream and salt. Her advice to novice cooks is the same that she gave her daughters: Campbell's cream of mushroom soup.

But that trivial point aside, I like the recipes in this book. This book is organized in a very different way from any cookbook I've encountered. The recipes are organized in sections like "Sunday Dinner", "Autumn," "Halloween," and more.

I like the sections for the ideas they give me, but it makes it harder for me to find things when I'm looking for a specific recipe. The index is fairly helpful in that regard, but not the best. That aside, buy this cookbook for the recipes and ideas--you won't be disappointed. I received this as a gift and it has become a real favorite in our house.

My husband can be a bit of a food snob, and was shocked to discover that his favorite stew is made with gasp! Campbell's cream of mushroom soup. Lots of good recipes in this book; you'll probably find some of your favorites here, too. But there is one recipe in there Called Hello Dollies it is exactly Identicle to my late grandmas Hello Dollies recipe.

This cookbook has some great recipes. They are not complex. These are common recipes that I have grown up with. I would highly recommend it.

I tried the Beef Stroganoff, and it was quick and easy to make, with a delicious creamy sauce of sour cream, butter, onions, garlic and mushrooms, served over steak strips and noodles. Lahvosh is a thin, crispy, yeast raised bread from the Middle East, also known as Armenian cracker bread. There is a subsection titled Feeding the Multitudes, and has ideas for breakfast, lunch and dinner. Perhaps the most unique part of this cookbook is the creative index.

Not only does the index include the recipes by seasons and holidays, and the usual alphabetical listing of dishes, it also includes the unexpected. The following categories are also include Conference dinner. I have lived in Utah for 42 years and have never heard of or had Missionary Chicken, but with chicken breasts smothered in a blend of cream of chicken soup, sour cream, Parmesan cheese, sliced mushrooms, and asparagus spears, how can you go wrong?

The fact that all these sections give complete menu suggestions and recipes makes this book a true standout among cookbooks. I wish I had known about this two-in-one cookbook when I went to a wedding reception several weeks ago. It would have been so much more fun than my cash-in-the-card gift. The only thing missing from this extensive cookbook is a few photos to supplement and add to the interesting and fun recipes. But even just a quick glance through this volume will draw readers in and entice them to the kitchen to try out these recipes! This delightful two-in-one volume is the perfect bridal shower or wedding reception gift.

Now if you will excuse me, I need to peruse this volume to try and decide what I will try next. Your email address will not be published.
