If you have space for only a few cookbooks in your kitchen here are a heap of cookbook classics to consider. Fannie Farmer Cookbook The Fannie Farmer Cookbook, still in print more than a century after it was introductory published in 1896, was in the first place titled The Boston Cooking-School Cook Book. Farmer’s cookbook was a follow-up to the Boston Cook Book published by Mary J. Lincoln in 1884. Farmer had been a student at the Boston Cooking School and in the long run became school principal. Her cookbook became very general and has been regularly reprinted, revised and modified for decades. Fanny Farmer’s cookbook was the original to undertake to standardize measurements in recipes. The recipes feature clear, straightforward directions. It remains a cookbook classic that cooks return to again and again for it is more than 1000 recipes. If you’re looking for a basic but comprehensive cookbook this is one for your bookshelf. Aspiring cooks will love the Fannie Farmer Cookbook. The Joy of Cooking, introductory published by Irma Rombauer in 1931, remains some a cook’s bible today. Rombauer initially self-published her cookbook. Several years later a publisher picked it up and over the decades The Joy of Cooking has had a number of revisions and editions. Millions of copies have been sold. First published for the duration of the Depression, Rombauer’s cookbook remains a comprehensive and much consulted guide for America’s cooks. Betty Crocker’s Picture Cook Book was primary published by General Mills in 1950, and is now known as the Betty Crocker Cookbook. Betty’s cookbook, now in it is 10th edition, has sold some millions of copies. This cookbook classic is filled with how-tos, troubleshooting, and helpful charts. It’s a outstanding cookbook for beginners and it will stay one of the favorites in your collection for years to come. Not to dash any illusions but there’s never been a Betty Crocker. She was developed by the Washburn-Crosby Co., a flour mill company and manufacturers of Gold Medal Flour, around 1920. Washburn-Crosby in the end became General Mills and Betty Crocker only grew in popularity. A number of recipe booklets and pamphlets with Betty Crocker as “author” were published in the years before and after the Betty Crocker Picture Cook Book was initial published. Mastering the Art of French Cooking Julia Child, living with her husband Paul in Paris after WWII, studied at the Cordon Bleu cooking school. With classmates, Simone Beck and Louisette Bertholle, she wrote the two-volume cookbook, Mastering the Art of French Cooking, primary published in 1961. The cookbook, which attempted to adjust French cooking for American cooks, without delay became a bestseller.

A great introduction to low-fat cooking
By A
After my husband had emergency heart bypass surgery and we were suddenly plunged into a low-fat lifestyle, I looked at almost every low-fat cookbook in print. This one is my favorite. There are full-page color photos and a complete nutritional analysis for each recipe. The recipes are easy and taste good, and don’t use weird ingredients like pureed prunes or carob powder. The Lemon Meringue Cake with Strawberries was a big hit – I plan to try out the Chocolate Swirl Cheesecake, too. Overall, a very easy introduction to a different way of life.

By C. M. Ries
My husband and I have both recently been diagnosed with high cholesterol and could both lose some weight. I purchased this cookbook from Amazon.com and have been trying each of the recipes. I have been very highly surprised, thinking that if it was low-fat or low-cholesterol, I would have to saccrifice taste in my cooking. Not so. This cookbook offers wonderfully, easy recipes which are so delicious. It offers nutrition info on each recipe, as well as the time it will take to cook the meal (most under 30 minutes). Every recipe we’ve tried (and we’re going to try them all) has been great. My husband doesn’t even notice that it’s healthy! The recipes are also very simple to make. I go through the book and make my shopping list from the ingredients of the recipes I want to put on my menu for the week. Some of our favorites have been: The Cajun Mustard Pork Chops, Hearty Beef and Veggies, and Lemon Dill Shrimp. You’ll be happy if you get this recipe book.

Each recipe is listed as being either Low Fat, Low Cholesterol, and/or Low Calorie so no matter what your diet needs you’ll find recipes you love. Most of the recipes are low in all 3 areas, even the desserts!!! This book is worth it for the nutritional information alone but please make sure and try the chocolate brownies!!!
