Summary: Disappointing
Comment: While I am a great fan of Marion Cunningham, this is a disappointing book. First, the book is not actually a hardback, but rather it is a paperback which has been inserted into a cardboard outer binding. It will not last. More disappointing are the recipes - many of them I have seen in other volumes of Mrs Cunningham's. One would do much better buying her most-exellent Fannie Farmer Cookbook and get a monster book of well tried and proven recipes. The graphics in this book are perfectly lovely, but I would heartily recommend that the potential purchaser consider one of Mrs Cunningham's many other cookbooks.

Summary: Intriquing Introspective
Comment: In a world of take-out food, culinary maven takes us back to a simpler, more beautiful place of home cooking. The history of these recipes are fascinating, and just as in her "The Fanny Farmer Cookbook," Ms. Cunningham breaks them down to approachable, user friendly creations. Thes recipes are sure to become new classics.

Summary: Great family-style recipes
Comment: As a mother of two small children, I fancied myself too busy to cook "every night." Then one day I realized that, in a world of macaroni & cheese, frozen vegetables, and takeout cuisine of all varieties, I was NEVER cooking at home, unless it was a big, formal "dinner." Marion Cunningham has inspired me to rethink "supper" for my family--I have rediscovered the ease of baked chicken and vegetables, and I make fried rice instead of another night of Chinese takeout. Many of these recipes involve easy preparation that can be done earlier in the day, so at dinnertime it is just a matter of popping something in the oven or cooking it on the stove. The ingredient lists are simple (all things you can actually find at your local supermarket!), but the flavors are wonderful. There is no attempt to cut fat or carbohydrates, but then again, you also aren't adding excess sodium and preservatives to your diet.
If you are new to cooking, I also recommend "Learning to Cook with Marion Cunningham," which has many easy recipes that will impress your friends who are also new cooks! Either book would be a great graduation or wedding gift.
