One of the best cookbooks ever

Thought I should mention that I rely heavily on my own first-hand experience in the kitchen and on a small collection of very well used cookbooks.

One of my favoritecookbooks is Mennonite Country-Style Recipes and Kitchen Secrets by Esther H. Shank. My copy was published in 1987, but newer editions are available. I can vouch that the recipes are pretty easy to make --from easy to find ingredients. My family has enjoyed some of the recipes so much that they become family favorites.

This cookbook would make a great present for young people cooking on their own for the first time.

I LOVE THAT COOKBOOK!!! It is definitely going to be a staple in my kitchen when I get around to buying it. It has all my favorite recipes and from my experience, any recipe you try, works!
Plus it is so loaded with useful, simple tips and hints.
