I’ve made the most amazing crusts from her recipes. Not really a novice book, but if you love to bake it’s worth looking into. She also has a Cake Bible.
This is a great little cookbook that is novice friendly on a lot of recipes. There are some mistakes in the recipes though, which might be annoying for beginners, but mostly it’s great.
Fun fact… I’ve never actually made a meal by following a recipe from a book or any where until I started ordering hello fresh boxes!.. It was so fun. It was like I was in home economics back In high school reading the recipe cards and getting out all the food prepared. It was so fun…but like everything, I go through phases where I love something so much I over kill with it lol then never do it again lol… I have minimal balance when it comes to cooking routines lol … Definitely not wife material lol
Mine is in storage so can’t take a pic, but it’s one of my child’s school fund-raisers. Family orientated, home cooked with love.
Makes me mooshy thinking about it.
Have you tried simply cook? It’s online like hello fresh but it’s just the seasonings and flavour pots. I use it loads, always something new to try but you just get the ingredients yourself. Defo worth ago
I just said today how I liked to cook when I was married. I’d use the Fannie Farmer or Betty Crocker cookbooks. My husband would say it was delicious no matter what I cooked, lol.
Now it’s all I can do to spend 5 minutes in the kitchen!
I love this one for keto/low carb. I’ve made a lot of the things in there. Some are a pain to make, but everything I’ve had has been really good. There are a lot of sweet recipes, but also a bunch of nut butters and some savory recipes as well.
… Definitely not wife material lol
