Go for the 1961 Edition
I picked up a copy of his 1961 cookbook at a used book show. I previously had some of the updated editions but I honestly did not care for them (gave them back to the book show). When I found this edition, I was quickly turning the pages and finding so many recipes I wanted to try. Many are rather quaint but staples that everyone should have if you yearn for recipes that your mother or grandmother may have made such as salsbury steak, beef stroganoff, chicken Kiev and so on. This is a book I use over and over again. Look for the original, it's still the best. One of the Best I have owned this cookbook for a number of years and out of all my cookbooks it is my most used one. I know that anytime I make any recipe in this book, it will be excellent and have no hesitation making a recipe the first time for guests. The recipes are basic yet at the same time are not. They are all excellent. A must have cookbook in a person's collection. New York Times Cookbook There are a few cookbooks everyone should have in their collection. This is one of those. Craig Claiborn has put together some wonderful recipes, classics really. The advise and information in this book is also very helpful. A great addition to your library This is one of the first cookbooks I ever purchased. It is a cookbook that I don't necessarily pick up and say lets make something, but it is more of a reference. If I am wondering how to make something traditional or specific I will generally check this book out along with others. It is definitely one of the books I give great respect to and would not be without. Good Every Day Cook Book Did you ever find yourself wondering was it 3 minutes for 5 minutes for a softboiled egg? or what should I do with these chicken legs? Well this cook book answers this level of questions, and the answers are easy to find. Sorry if you are looking for fancy recipes with great pictures this isn't it. But for a reference for all the basic recipes this book is top notch, plus I really like the chicken country captain recipe. | |
