Cookbook for Dummies (Like Me)

Memories are a good thing. They help us remember people that are gone and things we've done in the past; some even help us in the future.

My cooking guru/guinea pig, Robin, was remembering a cookbook from her past that helped her tremendously when she was just starting to cook. And lo and behold! She went to the library for some books and thought maybe she could find that same book. There it was. The Good Housekeeping Illustrated Cookbook published in 1980. This book is incredible. There are pictures for every single recipe; whether easy for people like me or for the more capable cook. Instructions are step-by-step; you just can't go wrong!

Not only does it have a TON of food recipes, it also has wine and beverage recipes that anyone would love to have. I've also discovered in the back a glossary of cooking terms (boy, I need those!), a calorie guide, menu planning and so much more! It even has an herb and spice list showing the characteristics and uses of all kinds of spices. Is that cool or what?

I just had to share this. This is a truly incredible book for cooks like myself just starting out. Definitely worth sharing with someone else. Thanks for listening!
