A necessity for every kitchen - J. Banville - Missoula, MT USA
I've used this book at least once a week for years. It's not designed for novice cooks, only, but for all cooks (and bakers!). I have a bookcase full of cookbooks and this is the only one that never gets put back on the shelf. It's helped me out of many a jam. Come to think of it, it helped me make jam. I love to look up an ingredient and get ideas for what to do with it. Need a pancake recipe? There's a great one in here. What to do with cabbage? The sweet and sour saute in here is wonderful. I once read it cover to cover over my morning coffee. It took me a few months, but I absorbed amazing information. I'm very picky and what I would say is this book is fabulously written and brilliantly structured. Do yourself a favor and buy it.
