Loading... The Fannie Farmer Cookbook (1896)by Marion Cunningham, Fanny Merritt Farmer
None. The best parts of this cookbook are not the recipes, but all the extra stuff. The beginning of every category has a section of techniques and tips. The book also heavily focuses on how to make the most out of your ingredients and leftovers, transforming one dish into several other meals. There's a great index and even a glossary of ingredients and kitchen equipment. This is not so much a recipe book (though there are great recipes) as it is a book about cooking and efficiently operating a kitchen. The recipes included in the book mostly require simple ingredients that most people already have. Most of the recipes are time-tested as they've been in the book since it was originally published in the nineteenth century by Fannie Farmer herself. I've only had this book for about a week now, and I can't put it down. My kitchen bible. Fannie has never failed me. I'd be lost without her recipes for pie crust, biscuits, banana bread, and cream scones, and she's a regular reference for meat temps, canning guidelines, and other basic cooking. too many great recipes to list If it isn't Betty its Fannie! Everything you need to know on how to cook anything. Good Reference. A new cook's guide and handbook. Traditional recipe's from Gravey to Lobster. A must for any bride or groom or well...anyone who wants to cook and eat! no reviews | add a review
