This is the best cookbook I have ever used. Gives the basics for everything. I have used this cookbook since I was a teenager. My mother's copy was from the sixties, she wouldn't part with it and bought my copy in 1981 copyright 1979, I have used it so much that it is literally in pieces. I have six children and would like to give each of them a copy. I have bought many cookbooks over the years and this is the only one that I have kept and consistently used.
A great learning resource for many basic American dishes.
