The Taste of Home Cookbook

I liked this one so much that I bought extras to give as gifts.

With the plethora of cookbooks available it is not often that something really rises above the din, The Taste of Home Cookbook is one of those.

Dubbed the "Cadillac" of cookbooks this 676 page cookbook is certainly one that all new cooks and many experience cooks will reach for again and again.

Yes it has recipes and lots of them with over 1200 unique recipes designed around the grocery ingredients you find on the Grocery Guide website. All recipes have been tested and tasted by Taste of Home.

There are over 300 Practical Kitchen Tips, reference charts, 1,300 full-color photos of finished recipes, common ingredients and more!

The cookbook was designed to be used on the kitchen counter. Its durable ring binder allows the cookbook to lay flat for referencing and its wipe-clean cover and splash guards help it survive the splashes and spills in the kitchen. The five-ring binder-style is organized into 25 different chapters, so it is easy to use. There are 2 handy pockets to store your own recipe clippings or cards. For quick look-up, you can flip to any one of five separate indexes, including major ingredient, food category, alphabetical, cooking method, and tip/reference. Plus, easy-to-follow reference charts are located on the inside front and back covers.

As a bonus, it also has a coupon inside for a free year of Taste of Home Magazine. You can't go wrong with this cookbook!
