"I have seen Frances doing cooking segments on a local television program. She is very knowledgeable and entertaining. Her cookbook contains recipes that are simple to make with ingredients that are readily available and within my budget. With many of her recipes, she uses step by step illustrations and also optional methods and ingredients. I would say that if you can have only one cookbook, this would be the one that I would recommend. Also if you are new to cooking and baking, I would recommend starting with this one." -- Amazon review of Schaffer's first cookbook.
PAT'S REVIEW
I found this book to be full of good old fashion recipes. The healthy part comes from the beginning of the book when the author tells you that she cooks with ingredients that are natural. For example butter, not margarine. Items that are not made with preservatives and other items that are unhealthy for you in the long run. This really is how my grandparents ate and they were farmers from Nebraska. The recipes are all simple and easy to follow along with the pictures and the stories that go along with the chapters make for a very good book. I received this book from Netgalley.com I gave it 4 stars. Follow us atwww.1rad-readerreviews.com
