Easy Cheesy Chili Chicken from Eating Stella Style: Low-Carb Recipes for Healthy Living

My husband enjoyed this a lot. It was easy enough for a weeknight, but I will have to tweak the seasonings some, as it was just a bit too salty for my tastes. read more >

Joy of Cooking: 75th Anniversary Edition - 2006

By Irma S. Rombauer, Marion Rombauer Becker, Ethan Becker
Scribner - 2006

March 31st, 2012

I got this cookbook primarily as a reference for looking up common recipes and techniques. It does that job very well. It probably has a version of almost every recipe you can think of, although they are often very scaled-down. Think of these recipes as a place to start creating in the kitchen or foundations to build on. While I consult this cookbook regularly, I don't cook out of it every day.
