I ordered this for a friend because I have so many family favorites from this decades-old cookbook. Easy to follow recipes made with ordinary ingredients you most likely already have on hand. They'll save you money....comfort foods at their finest! Buy it if you can find it!Easy and fast meals that cost next to nothing...Plus, they are good! My favorite is zucchini risotto - try it and it will be a family favorite. This book is filled with simple to prepare and hardy recipes.I bought this cookbook from a garage sale years ago for just 10 cents. Over the years I lost it somehow, so when I found it again I was thrilled. Some of my favorite recipes were in it, and all quick, easy, simple with just a few easy ingredients. It was the 70s, so a few odd ones as well, LOL, but overall a great book.ExcellentLooks good but I'm on Weight Watchers now so it will have to wait.Good book for older recipe ideas. Especially for larger families on a budget and trying to stretch a dollar at meals.Easy and delicious recipes/This Cookbook is GREAT! Not only does it have great "Ideas to stretch the budget", it's great with reminders & helpful hints that some may not have gotten from a Mother or Granny.The recipes are inexpensive meals, and although they are not written with Calorie counting or low cholesterol, they are good about good old fashion cooking that taste good!
