A time honored classic cookbook that probably served as the staple culinary reference in your mother's kitchen returns in an updated new and improved edition. The Good Housekeeping Cookbook is a comprehensive, almost encyclopedic cookbook that can be counted on for just about any occasion from quick and easy weeknight suppers to elegant special event dinners.

Of course this book contains recipes and plenty of them - over 1500 triple-tested recipes to be more specific, illustrated with over 600 color photographs. But this is so much more than a recipe book, it's a cooking school in a book which can answer most any question the average cook will ever encounter and many that go far beyond the basics as well.

Thirty-six famous chefs, restaurateurs, cookbook authors and food experts share insider tips on fine cooking. There's lots of educational information on techniques, tools and ingredients, including an extensive and especially impressive section on fruits and vegetables. You'll also find measurement and temperature conversions, substitution ideas and tips, techniques and trouble shooting for just about every common cooking situation.

A cookbook like this would make an excellent gift for newlyweds or people living away from home the first time as its depth and scope make it the one cookbook to have if you only plan on having one. For that reason it would also be handy to stock at your boat, RV or vacation cabin.
