THE IDEAL COOKBOOK FOR THE BEGINNER

Many of today's cookbooks use unique and expensive ingredients, and have complicated recipes that are hard to make.

The Melting Pot Cookbook is an old-fashioned book from the days when the US was a Melting Pot. Then Grandma was a young cook and baker looking to friends and acquaintances for great recipes to impress her family (and her new in-laws). She had limited skills and knowledge of the kitchen, so the recipes had to be easy to make. And she and Grandpa didn't have money to waste, so they had to use common ingredients already in her kitchen.

These are Grandma's best and favorite recipes, from soups and salads to entrees, to rich, mouth-watering desserts. They taste good, and many even look good, good enough to be decorations on the table until it's time to eat them. Any young cook will be thrilled when her guests ask for her recipe!

The Melting Pot Cookbook is available on Amazon.com for $9.44. It makes a perfect gift for the new bride, who will very soon impress you with beautiful and delicious eats or for the experienced cook looking for new and unusual dishes to prepare.
