My favorite cookbook. This cookbook has always been a staple in my home! I love it and use it so much that I tend to buy the new version every 10ish years! This version is absolutely beautiful! The photos are great quality and in abundance! It has cooking tips throughout the book, along with education on the basics for beginning cooks. One of my favorite things about this book is the variation ideas for things like pancakes and muffins, where there is a basic recipe and they give you all sorts of ideas to change it up in different ways and they will tell you exactly what and how to edit to make the changes!
Mixed feelings. I just received my copy today, and so far, I have mixed feelings. I got this to supplement my older (11th) edition. I’m happy my older edition is still ok for now, because I can see some recipes were taken out to make room for the new ones. (As is often the case when there are new editions.)Pros, to me: it has newer, updated recipes that reflect more diverse flavors we enjoy (think Chai or kombucha as well as old favorites like lasagna). I like that there is a section just on charts you could use for cooking. I really like the “Then and Now” section. It does still cover basic things for those new to the kitchen.Some cons for me: I’m not fond of the magazine-like layout on most pages. I find it a bit distracting. I also don’t quite like that the “Then & Now” section is BEFORE the Table of Contents; it makes it hard to find the Contents. And I’m not positive yet that I like the change in some of the categories for the Table of Contents.I look forward to trying several recipes, I found some I already think look appealing. That being said, I think if you’re looking for a BHG cookbook to replace an older edition you really liked, I would hesitate to suggest this particular edition. It doesn’t seem to have a many of the older “favorites” you may be looking for.My take on the paper quality mentioned in many reviews: I DO agree the paper quality is not the same as in my other copy, or in other cookbooks I have. It does feel like a cheaper quality, though I think you will be fine if you’re reasonably careful.When I read reviews on different cookbooks, I noted photos seem to be an important factor for many people. I guess because my other edition doesn’t have as many, I got used to it. But this edition has A LOT of photos.Update: I made the Chicken Schwarma two nights ago, following the pressure cooker directions (the recipe gives directions for slow or pressure cooker options). It was very good, I will definitely make it again. And I did accidentally splash water drops on the page in spots. It does make the page curl a little.
Great cookbook. Good cookbook with lots of recipes
Wedding gift. Great wedding gift
Yummy recipes. This cookbook is fantastic. So many true to recipe photos and tips and illustrations for the new and experienced cook. I got hungry just reading through the recipes. Recipes are mix of traditional and new with current ingredients, supplies and equipment.
