Published in 1998, this book features >200 classic Betty Crocker recipes accompanied by full color photos. The book features the winning recipes of 75 Betty Crocker contestants and their stories.

I found a lot of the recipes easy to make and with ingredients that were readily available. Featured Chapters include:
1. Breakfast
2. Lunch- soup, salads and sandwiches
3. Dinner- beef, chicken, fish and vegetarian meals
4. Sides/Breads
5. Desserts

The book also featured an introduction on the development of food icon Betty Crocker- from 1921 to present day. The real purpose of the book was to highlight the 75 women across America who developed their own recipes. My favorite recipes incude:
1. Strawberry muffins- delicious with a great strussel topping and suprisingly easy to make
2. Orange Currant Scones- i made this with dried cranberries instead of the harder to find currants
3. Popovers- rich and buttery

I received this cookbook as a christmas gift from my father-in-law. The recipes are easy to follow, with simple ingredients, and they are so good! There is a variety of recipes, from breakfast, to soups, to meatless meals, to desert, and everything in between! I have really enjoyed this cookbook because it doesn't strain my budget to cook from it, I am a young mom with a 13 month old baby so that is important to me! My husband has also enjoyed the recipes, we haven't yet found anything that we didn't like! I also sent this cookbook to my sister as a wedding shower gift! I would definitely recommend this cookbook to beginners and those who have been cooking for years and would like something new!

I read this a few years ago and thought it was pretty good. The way this series jumps from landscape to landscape such as Forgotten Realms and Dragon Lance is interesting, escpecially the way it all still fits together

I think this book should be recomended to anyone who likes Dragonlance books and that this book is very well thought out.

I thought the book was a wonderful recount of the happenings. One of the family, Aubrey Alday, was my uncle. He was married to my father's sister. The entire family was very friendly. I visited them several times when I was younger. I would go spend the night with my aunt and uncle sometimes. I just wish the men that killed them would get what is coming to them. They need to pay for what they did. They have no remorse.

Hello my name is Christina Hope Alday. I am 17 years old and i want to find out some infromation on the killings of these six people. You know like their past History and who they were related to. If anyone can help me please e-mail me at: dopey_31728@yahoo.com. I would really like to fing out this info.

The information in this volume is somewhat dated, but it remains a rich reference source.

This book even though a little startling at first. Brings to light some very hidden truths. These truths have been hidden from knowledge. The Bible states that "we shall know the truth, and the truth shall set us free". We need truth in a world full of uncertainties and lies. Truth brings knowledge. It is our Plumbline to measure everything with. We need this to survive. Life is empty in uncertainties. We know where we are going in truth and where we have come from! This book reveals - lays open, it is bare! Thanks for all the arduous research but it was well worth it. Thanks and well done.

Yet again another great book in the 'Anatomy of the Ship' line. I am going to embark on making the HM bark Endeavour next, and this resource has every detail I imagined. In particular, I was interested in the lashing of small boats to the deck, and it even had a wealth of information on that.

Everything makes sense, even Ray Parkin's wonderful works on the Endeavour is not as detailed. In some respects Marquardt and Parkin contradict each other, even though they used the same reference, but both are well read and their arguements good for their interpretations, the ship is gone, and no-one will ever know. It is lying in the mud in an American river.

Very hard to find, but well worth tracking down. As of 2001, this 'Victory' has been re-released as has 'Yamato' in this series, and they are also both well worth owning. This makes the trifecta.

This book offers some suprising insights into Capt. Cook's Endeavor. It discusses some of the previous misconceptions that have overshadowed an accurate picture of what this ship was, and what it looked like. This is a "must have" resource for anyone interested in producing an accurate model of the Endeavor, or for any one interested in getting a better feel the history of the event. Excellent book!!!

Ive never seen such wonderful photos. The bully-net pix were really neat. Those guys are hot!

For an avid diver, its the best book ever.
The photos are really great - they give a lot of direction in how to prepare fish. They could have been the hands of a surgeon.

Michael Cook,,,, well, I know he partnered up with Patricia Crone to formulate a radical theory about the origins of Islam which has yet to really move the learned community; save those neo-orientalist who can't quite figure this "Islam thing" out no matter how many journals they publish or how many books they read. It seems to me that when Michael Cook and Patricia Crone teamed up it is similar to Picketts charge during the battle of Gettysburg. While that charge didn't end the war, it delivered a serious blow to the morale of the defeated party. While the Muslim and Academic Scholars have issued very critical statements regarding the scholarship of this dynamic duo, I have found it fascinating to study the development of Orientalist thought from such minds as Matin Luther (yes, the founder of the protestant movement) to revisionist scholars like John Wansborough (Patricia Crones mentor in "deconstruction Islam"). Anyway, you must wonder why I have given this title five stars. the answer is that this is a wonderful study. Aside from Michael Cooks dabbling in deconstructionist theories (Early Muslim Dogma), I have found this book to be exhaustive and fair in its treatment of the subject. I don't know if Michael Cook still entertains the theories of his past (it might be too costly to his dignity as an academic to admit the immaturity of the theories he signed his names to), but I really don't care. There is little room for Cook to advance radical theories in this title because it is , for the most part, a historical study into the development of the legal discourse pertaining to the Qur'anic tenet, "command what is right, and forbid what is wrong". A very informative and entertaining study. I received a lot of clarity on this issue just by reviewing the positions held by the jurists of the legal culture. A good book to have and a nice departure (for Cook) from lame-brained attempts to rewrite history.

Cook has achieved something special in this work. He demonstrates that he is a rare and gifted scholar with an awesome ability to intregrate vast seas of thought into one coherent whole. This work covers "Commanding Right and Forbidding Wrong" from its origins in the Koran up until modern times, though he focuses upon the classical period throughout the vast majority of his book. All sects with a significant body of material are represented. Why this topic?-- Basically, this doctrine has historically proved to be the major foundation of any Islamic social ethic; therefore, how it is concieved usually predetermines how one thinks justice ought to be established in this word or by whom it should be established. Cook possesses a talent for giving seemingly distant and irrelevant doctrines a timely relation to today insofar as his studies illuminates how two different cultures approach moral actions in their respective societies. Parts of this book are vast and copiously detailed; however, it was exhaustively documented and extremely efficiently organized throughout. Thus, it is enormously accessible and immensely useful for reference as well. The high price is unfortunate, but it is without a doubt worth the money for anyone interested in Islamics.

In a thoroughly modern approach to allergies, leading allergist Dr. Frank Kwong teaches how to be involved in your own care. THE COMPLETE ALLERGY BOOK covers every base, yet is easy to follow and fascinating to read.

Being a pack rat, I especially appreciated the chapter "Surveying and Cleaning the Home," which has educated me about clutter. Each chapter offers its own surprises. I have learned that in buying a condo or renting a unit, I should be provided with air ducting design information. I didn't suspect that in some buildings the exhaust from one unit actually becomes the incoming air of the next unit. There is even a chapter on sex and allergies. Yes, you can be allergic to your partner.

THE COMPLETE ALLERGY BOOK is a wonderful reference volume for every home. It enlightens and clarifies, and in case of serious trouble can be a lifesaver.

I needed a book that would help me understand my allergies and how to live with them. This book was exactly what I was looking for. The author uses easy to understand terms that makes it an enjoyable read. I would definitely recommend this book to anyone that suffers from some sort of allergy.

I got this book for Christmas from my sister and now I'm a believer. After moving into my own place after college a couple of years ago I have struggled to find new things to cook, the days of raman noodle must pass. The only problem being that most of my attempts at cooking have come out looking more like my childhood mud pies then the pictures on the box. Now that I have made one or two of these simple meals for friends and a very impressed girlfriend I wonder why other cook books aren't so simply written. In the end I have to say get this book.

Quite a few cook books that I have purchased in the past, have been impossible for me to use, as my skills as a cook, are only basic, and their recipes difficult to follow. This book however is user friendly, with delicious results. I am sure these nuns must have considered her a "god send".
