Sauced artichoke, p.4; better than butter, but more work than the results deliver. Cut down to one artichoke per person.

Best book on bread I have ever seen.

Some of the best pickles you'll ever taste. And very helpful for canning vegetables.

The main dish pie section is quite good. I want to make more savory pies, but recipes I find in most cookbooks tend toward variations on the pot pie concept. While I love stew in a pie crust, I figured there had to be something more. Particularly, finding vegetarian pies has been a pain for me. The ones I do find tend to be unappealing. With a number of vegetarian friends, I really want them to have a reason to come to Pie Night. For a cookbook targeted at the strongly carnivorous country, Farm Journal’s Complete Pie Cookbook has a surprising number of hearty, tasty-sounding vegetarian recipes.

If I could keep only one cookbook from my collection, this would be it. I use it more often than any of the others I own. Some of the recipes feed lots of people, so I can always find something seasonal to make for a church dinner. Other recipes, especially those for canned vegetables, feed smaller groups of 4 to 6 people. These are ideal for every day meals. Most of the recipes use ingredients people commonly keep in their pantries, making it easy to come up with a side dish on the spur of the moment. My copy originally belonged to my grandmother, so I have the added benefit of her margin notes by the recipes she used. The book is out of print, but you might be able to find a copy at a yard sale.

Mid-western snacks. Not so friendly to the waist line.

Candy making the "old school" way. My dad used this cookbook quite a bit.

Couldn't live without this one when we had extra anything

This is the best bread cookbook I have, and I got it from the cookbook club. I have never had a bad recipe in it, and the CDQ Cinnamon Rolls have been a family favorite for many years

o..the thousands of jars of garden treasures i put up with this book's help ! truly a delight....
