The Recipe Collector Notebooks from Century Photo Products are great!  I’ve been using them for over 20 years.  They have always worked well, and the company has upgraded the quality of the plastic a couple of times over that span.    The books are 6" x 9" by about 1.5" thick.  They hold 40 vinyl recipe cover sheets.  These come in two sty...

If you are weary of finding the same old rehash of American classic recipes, then this beautifully hardbound cookbook is for you. What the authors have given us in this cookbook, is a stellar variety of updated classic American dishes, that taste as fresh and lively as they look. Who would have ever imagined French toast batter sprinkled with black pepper, would lead to a brand new take on...

I bought this because I have tons of magazines lying around and piled up in my closet because I like to use the recipes in them.  I thought it would be great to be able to finally rid myself of the clutter and have them all on the computer.The program was great!  It was so easy to figure out.  You can organize all of your recipes by cookbook or magazine, and then by chapter or ty...

I think this might be the first review for a product I'm not happy with.  Not Your Mother's Slow Cooker Recipes for Two by Beth Hensperger looked and sounded lovely from the description offered by my  Book of the Month Club.  I only paid $9.99 which included shipping so it's not like I was out a lot of money. **This book contains absolutely no pictures except the ones...

This wonderful recipe book has about twenty different recipes for gifts in a jar.  My wife has used it several times over the years for teacher and daycare worker gifts.  Often, there are left over ingredients and when there are she makes extra jars for my daughter or us...we all love it when this occurs!  There is a variety of recipes including numerous different cookies, s...

 Although I have a few slow cooker recipe books I wanted to see what was new and interesting out there so I went over to the local Chapters store and found this very thick 500-plus recipe collection that comes in a sturdy 5 ring binder with lots of images both on the cover and inside.The book is meant to be added to so you can easily make up your own recipe cards as there is still room to ...

This small magazine about the size of a Reader's Digest was sent with an RD when I was subscribed to it. I am always interested in good recipes for soups, stews, and/or chili, but since I cannot eat too much salt or processed foods, this book is not for me.It uses processed soups (like cambells, etc.) and processed potatoes to make some really tasty soups. If you are not a really good cook,...

Even city folks like us enjoy one of our all time favorite cookbooks, Farm Recipes and Food Secrets from the Norske Nook. You won't find any delicious pictures of food in this cookbook, but oddly, it does not need them.  I find the recipes stand on their own.  I love this cookbook!  It was written and put together by Helen Myhre and Mona Vold.  Helen Myhre is t...

As the proud owner of the pickiest dog on the planet, I have probably tried every premium dog food that is available. Recently, I came across Old Mother Hubbard Cupboard. Old Mother Hubbard is a division of Natura and primarily has sold pet treats until recently. Having been a huge fan of Old Mother Hubbard's wonderful high quality treats, I was eager to give this new food a ...

This may just be the only cookbook you will ever need.  It goes well beyond just recipes to include everything you need to know about cooking at home.The book starts of with the sections Kitchen Know-How, Tools for the Country Cook, and In the Pantry. I have found these especially helpful, because they cover everything you need to know about measurements, utensils, appliances and different...

I love a good meal from the crock pot - they taste like you have been standing over the stove all day with minimal work.  However until recently I never really made more in my slow cooker than pot roast or stew.  I knew there were a lot more things I could be making so I kept my eye out for a good slow cooker recipe book.While browsing through a LTD Commodities catalog, I found the Sl...

My husband has diabetes and it is really starting to rear its ugly head.  I recently saw a paperback book, Recipes for Diabetics by Billie Little, in Walmart and decided to purchase it.  The book is revised and updated and has 271 pages, including the index.  It is loaded with recipes that are good tasting and are good for diabetics.The book contains an exchange list, where ...

I purchased this trial size (12 oz.) of Nature's Recipe Farm Stand Selects for 0.99 at my local PETCO. They had trial sizes available to promote this new product from Nature's Recipe. I purchased it because on the packaging it listed that it had no beef, corn, wheat, by-products, fillers or artificial preservatives. It contained ingredients such as turkey for protein, fruits and vegetab...

I'd been searching for a truly comprehensive cookbook that dealt with Italian cuisine over the entire region. While browsing Zooba, my favorite site for affordable books, I found 1,000 Italian Recipes and immediately ordered it. This hardcover volume, written in clear descriptive language is a true treasure box of Italian cooking. Michelle Scicolone is a globally recognized and acclaimed fo...

I received this cook book as a wedding gift.  More accurately, I should say I received this baking book as a wedding gift. This book is full of sweet confections: squares, cakes, cookies, and more.  There are sections for chocolate treats, fruity desserts, and children's party food and birthday cakes.   Most recipes have a full-colour picture, and all have clear, easy to foll...

"Quick. Cheap. Easy." These three words, included in the title of this wonderful paperback cookbook, sum up what the recipes are all about. It's not just for college students - anyone who is looking for low cost, easy to prepare recipes would enjoy this cookbook very much. Though there are no pictures, each recipe is carefully explained in a manner that even the most novice of coo...

I received this cookbook as a gift and was pleased when I did.  I am a huge Everyday Italian fan so I was thrilled to have Giada's recipes in hard copy.  I have to say that I was disappointed with the cookbook.  Most of the recipes are unappealing or required a long list of ingredients and there were not as many pictures as I would have liked.  However, the pictures that...

This was the first book I bought that started making me think about living a more frugal lifestyle.  It is essentially a cookbook but there is so much more to it than just recipes.  But recipes are a good place to start the review.There are eight sections for food recipes which include beverages, breakfast, breads, soups and sandwiches, vegetable/ beans/ rice/ pasta, salads/ dressings...

I have been wanting to follow a lower carb diet without going to the extremes of some of the popular low carb diets that are out there. I love carbs and I definitely still want to enjoy them I just wanted to be able to eat more of the healthy ones. Low carb diets are very affective and when you stick to them you will drop the weight but more important than that for me was just being healthier. ...

This cookbook is for "phase 2" of a low carb diet. All of the recipes in the book are 8 grams of net carbs or less. This is the phase of the low carb diet where you are able to up your carbs a little, generally 5 grams a week until you stop losing weight. Even though the recipes are meant for Phase 2 you could definitely use them on any phase of the diet because even with the higher o...
