Best Cookbook Ever!!!!!!

I received a copy of this cookbook 13 1/2 years ago from my grandmother as a wedding gift. I have used it so much it is falling apart. I wanted to share this great book with my sister and best friends. I was able to find it here. It is a fantastic baking guide. Every recipe is out of this world. I hope it will last so I can pass it to my children. Excellent Buy!!!

The BEST of the best...

I thought I had lost this book during a move, and losing it took away my desire to bake altogether (though it didn't help that the missing box where it was also contained all of my other favorite cookbooks and loose recipes). When I checked here to get a replacement, the cheapest used was $50!!

Now that the replacement price has come down, I found the misiplaced box containing this book and the others, and now all I want to do is bake! How ironic that it was found while I was packing up our things for yet another move, so baking is out of the question!

It was a great disappointment to my family that I couldn't make my famous bread pudding during the holidays last winter, so they will all be very happy this year when I return to form! And I love the variety of delicious cookies that I give away as Christmas goodies to friends. Everyone always thinks that the cookie recipes must be family heirlooms, and they are shocked that they are actually simple recipes of Pillsbury origins!

I have many great baking cookbooks, but if I had to chose just one to keep for the rest of my life, this would be it!! Needless to say, it will be closely guarded during this next move so it doesn't get misplaced again!

I agree with the others that this is the best cookbook on baking that I own. People generally like the baked goods I make from this book. Grandma's date-filled cookies, which I think are pictured on the cover are especially good as is the chocolate and orange cheesecake.

Best Baking Cookbook!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This book was given to me a few years back. Every recipe I use is fantastic! Many wonderful colored pictures and helpful hints. I'm buying more as gifts for friends who also love to bake. The only issue with this book is the binding, mine has come loose in a few places. It does not open flat which would have been a nice feature.

This cookbook, and Pillsbury, have never let me down. The book covers everything from cookies to cakes to fancy desserts to yeast breads and coffee cakes. I have had this book for at least ten years now, and I have found many of the recipes to be 'tried and true'. They are thoroughly tested so you get very consistent, yummy results, and now that I live at high altitude, I really appreciate the adjustments included for every recipe. That has helped me learn how to adjust other cookbooks' recipes for high altitude too. The glossy pages withstand the occasional batter spatter, and the pictures make you want to try all the recipes! Like others have mentioned, my book's binding gave out too and a good chunk of the pages have detached. Still, it remains my favorite baking book.
