Always Perfect

Abby Mandel has always been a favorite of mine, I'd cut her recipes every week from the Chicago Tribune and try them out a few days later. This book does not disappoint, Abby has given us many great recipes anyone can be proud of preparing and serving. She is easy to follow, concise, and ingredients are readily available. A great book for anyone's collection from a truly enjoyable cook and author.

A Big Fan!

This is an unbelievable book!! The recipes are so easy and always turn out perfectly. They are also so interesting - taking something simple and making them incredible! The brisket and tenderloin are big favorites in my house. I have been a big fan of Abby Mandel's for years. Nothing in this book is difficult - it makes cooking so much fun!!!

Wonderful recipes that are extremely well tested.

This is my favorite cookbook (and I have hundreds) and one I have often given as a gift. All the recipients agree, that the book is loaded with terrific recipes that work every time. Her previous book, "More Taste Than Time" (Simon and Shuster, 1988) is also a winner, but unfortunately out of print. If you can find it-buy it. You won't be disappointed.

THE BEST COOKBOOK I HAVE EVER READ, MANY ADDED EXTRAS!

YOU JUST CAN'T BEAT THIS GREAT COOKBOOK. I AM COOKING COLONIAL AND "COUNTRY" MEALS IN A SMALL COUNTRY CAFE IN OUR VERY OLD (1863) FARMHOUSE, AND MANDEL'S BOOK HAS REALLY BEEN A BLESSING. EVERYTHING IS SO WELL DONE, EVEN THE LINE DRAWINGS, SUGGESTIONS, COMMENTS, AND THE WONDERFUL SOURCES. A BOOK VERY WELL DONE, AND MUCH APPRECIATED, ALREADY GETTING FOOD SMUDGES ON IT FROM OVERUSE...THE SIGN OF A GOOD COOKBOOK!
