The right temperature frying depends on the thickness and type of food, but usually 175-190 degrees C (345-375 ° F).

Great Big Book Full of Great Recipes - Darena Dorsey - The South, USA
I was so excited when I received this cookbook. I have a few other soup cookbooks but they each feature about 100 recipes. This one has a whopping 375 recipes. The book is a nice, large, hardback. It doesn't have glossy pages or pictures of the food but I will swap that for the shear volume of recipes included in this book.

The book features recipes starting with soup mixes which I've always kind of used soup mixes when I made homemade soup anyway, they add alot of flavor but this book uses soup mixes to make all kinds of recipes. That was something that I didn't realize when I purchased the book. Who knew that you could make cheesecake with Campbell's Soup? The vegetable and bread recipes are just as delicious as the soup recipes in the book.

Great book. Highly recommend.
