Negative Positive
Title: Old fashioned, no frills recipes.
Review: This is a massive cookbook! It doesn't have a lot of pictures, and it doesn't go into detail and describe every single recipe that it has in there. I like that it gets straight to the point, and that many recipes come together with 5-10 very common household ingredients. It is laid out very easily, and the index in the back is great as well. The only drawback for me, is that if you are like me, there will be way too many "variety meat" recipes in there. I don't mind getting out of my comfort zone, but I probably won't be cooking brains, hearts, or sweetbreads for guests anytime soon. I do appreciate the utilization of cheap and easily accessible cuts of meat. A good variety of all courses.
