Summary: Great all-purpose cookbook!
Comment: As a newlywed and cooking novice, I constantly refer to the Pillsbury Complete Cookbook for great meal ideas, kitchen tips, and general cooking information. I recieved it as a shower gift and I have to say, it is the most useful thing that I got! I love the ring bound binding and layout of the book. There are 12 sections that are divided with tabbed sections for easy identification. In each chapter, there are plenty of recipes, tips, and ideas in each one. There are appetizers and beverages; bread, soup, stews; beef and veal; pork and lamb; poultry; fish and shellfish; vegetarian cooking; eggs; cookies and candies; cakes, pies, and desserts; salads, vegetables, and sides, and a whole section on cooking tips and basics. I even made my first Thanksgiving dinner using recipes from this book (roast turkey, perfect mashed potatoes, southern succotash, perfect apple pie). The meal was fabulous! So far, everything that I have tried has come out flawlessly. I like how there are basic, easy to find ingredients for each recipe, and there are only about 3 steps on average to complete it. Along with every recipe there are pictures, hints, suggestions, and cook's notes where needed to help you through. Many recipes also have variations and all come with nutrition information, prep and cook times (which have all been on target) and serving information. The emergency substitution lists on the front and back covers have also saved me once or twice! Some of the recipes I have tried--hopefully they will help to show the range of recipes in the book: golden split pea soup, dill vegetable dip, Italian spaghetti with meat sauce, easy chicken parm. grilled caribbean chicken, chicken piccata, fish creole, shrimp scampi, mediterranean shrimp with bowties, italian barbecued swordfish with tomato relish, linguine with white clam sauce, grilled fish with homemade tartar sauce, quick tortellini salad, cheesy green beans, lemon butter asparagus, tomato, basil, mozzarella salad, and chocolate chip cookies. I definetly recommend this book to a beginner or even an experienced cook who is looking for new things to prepare in the kitchen.

Summary: Pillsbury Knows How to Cook!
Comment: Having a good cookbook on hand is a must-have for every family, and sometimes it is difficult to sort through the enormous number of books on the market. I picked up this cookbook because I knew Pillsbury had many yummy dessert recipes, and I was pleasantly surprised with the amount of delicious recipes for every other category.
My family loves the Pan-Broiled Steak Smothered in Mushrooms, Lazy-Day Lasagna, Swiss Steak, Oven-Fried Fish, Asian Noodle Salad, and Baked Potato Soup (to name a few). Also worth mentioning were the recipes for Lemon Pudding Cake, Baked Rice Pudding, Peanut Butter Cups, Chocolate Carmel Layer Bars, and Espresso Brownies. I especially enjoyed the format of the book, which came in a sturdy binder with tabs for each food category. The book easily lays flat, and folds up neatly for storage. Make this cookbook a part of your collection and start making these yummy recipes today! Enjoy!
