My "Go To" cookbook
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 16 years ago
I bought this book a number of years ago, before I went on the low carb thing. When I went lo-carb, I eschewed most anything that said low fat or light. Since then, I've seen the light and gone more with the glycemic index, rather than rely on purely carbohydrate counts. What I DO find myself doing an awful lot lately is referring to this book, mainly because I find the recipes so easy to use and the ingredients are usually in the house. That's what I find so frustrating about most cookbooks; I find myself needing to make a trip to the market if I can't think of a decent substitution for one or more items. I don't care so much that the book says it's "Light". I just love using legumes, pasta, and rice in my everyday cooking. Besides, if it was really that light, it wouldn't include a recipe for "Southern Seasoning", which is really only a kind of pork stock made from smoked ham hocks (and it is so, so, gooooood; yum!).
A top-notch cookbook!

I use this cookbook all the time because the recipes are always tasty and the ingredients are usually on-hand! It is a very practical, cookbook that doesn't oversimplify at the expense of taste.
