Although I have over 100 cookbooks, this is my primary reference whenever I have a question about a recipe from another source. I have no favorite recipe from this book -- they all are my favorites! Perhaps the staying power of this cookbook is that it was an outgrowth of the "settlement reform movement", which was to improve the lives of the poor and the large immigrant population to the USA in the late 1800's and early 1900's. The basic elements of that movement are still valid and relevant in today's world. The Settlement Cookbook embodies the health and nutrition objectives of that time, and which are still with us today: Improving life through optimum nutrition with minimum time and expense. I highly recommend this cookbook to both beginning and experienced cooks.

It covers all aspects of cooking with excellent references such as a meat chart showing where various cuts come from, conversion charts for liquid & dry measures & weights. It covers the basics of cooking & has a lot of simple recipes that are tasty, but nothing fancy. As an overall cookbook, it's excellent. Good for beginners & a standard reference for those who have been cooking for decades.
