This is the only cookbook that I have found that has everything a new cook could possibly need to know. It is very clear and explains things for the beginner cook. All the recipes I have tried from my first book has been very good and down to earth.I didn't have to go to a gourmet shop to find all the ingredients necessary to make the recipes and spend a bundle to find out the recipe was not to my liking.This is my second Blue Ribbon book.I have the very first one, I purchased it at the Iowa State Fair the first year they had it there. So I decided that I needed to update it to see what new and clever recipes she has in it now. I can assure you I will be trying new recipes.Thanks for another marvelous cookbook! Donna
I first saw this cookbook in the Des Moines Register. I was so impressed with the author winning so many ribbons, nearly 100, for her food entries at the Iowa State Fair. This book has nearly 1,000 recipes in it with the state fair winners marked with a ribbon. This book is loaded with recipes you'll want to try and serve your family and friends. Each recipe is detailed and easy to follow. There are many colorful and attractive pictures. This book is good for the beginner or the advanced cook. I like the size of the print, it's easy to read. I'm hoping this is one book that my daughter or grandaughters will want to keep.
I recommend The Blue Ribbon County Cookbook. It is a good value and the content is compelling.

This was a new book that is all I had hoped it would be.It's just full of simple,home-style foods,easily prepared from a well stocked home pantry.I would feel comfortable cooking just about anything/everything for my sons and their families or to take to a church potluck.I'm very happy with it.
