The Pillsbury Complete Cook Book
Recipes from America's Most Trusted Kitchens
A Review by Carma Haley Shoemaker
The recipes contained within The Pillsbury Complete Cook Book are more than complete. With nutrition information, high-altitude directions and recipe variations given with each recipe, the dishes prepared are practically fail-proof. In addition, each recipe has a tip all its own. Whether wanting to prepare and freeze crepes for another day or to exchange buttermilk for low fat, the tips provided at the bottom of each recipe allow for cooking freedom.
The media is constantly speaking of health and diet, offering various information for "eating right." The Pillsbury Complete Cook Book has made planning a nutritious meal easy by providing a per serving nutrition information table at the bottom of each recipe. Calories, calories from fat, cholesterol, carbohydrates and sodium are just a few of the values included. In addition to the nutrition information, each recipe offers a list of dietary exchanges for those on a restricted diet.
It is not just the recipes that deserve raves, but also the actual food you will make by using them. Whether desiring blueberry waffles or broiled lobster, baked zucchini or baked Alaska, the recipes in The Pillsbury Complete Cook Book are sweets for both the eye and the taste.
