Good Housekeeping Illustrated Cookbook

This cookbook debuted in 1980 and is still a great resource for the kitchen novice today. Each recipe is accompanied with step-by-step line drawings and a color photo of the finished product. Annette thinks that this method really makes learning a snap.

Annette received this cookbook as a gift from her mom when we were first married and it was a lifesaver because at that time all Annette could cook was scrambled eggs! It is comprehensive, covering appetizers, soups, seafood, meats and poultry, vegetables, fruits, salads and all sorts of desserts including pies, cakes, ice cream, cookies and candies. It also has extensive sections on quick breads, yeast breads and beverages. Reference resources include: measurement equivalent, bake ware, tools, equipment, herbs and spices and proper food storage.
