I am thinking of getting a new cookbook with my stoneware money.

Which one of these do you all prefer and why?

It's Good For you (since this is a "good for you" book what type foods are in it and do they taste good?)

Delightful Desserts (what kinds of desserts are in here)

Let's Eat (what is in this one)

Thanks! I know y'all will give me lots of input!
 
If it were me I would order it's good for you...... that is the latest cookbook that I want to add to my collection.
 
Hi, I just wanted to let you know that welovepamperedcheftoo for msn groups has all those cookbooks with the recipes listed so that should help you decide.. as for me i'd pick the dessert's .. but i have a sweet tooth :p ~tiffanyp
 
You can also go to the PC website and click on recipe search. Mark that you want ALL. The cookbook the recipe is in is listed with the recipe title.

Unfortunately they are in alphabetical order by recipe but you can surf through them to get an idea.
 
I love the dessert book, but I also have a big sweet tooth! It has every type of dessert you could want.
I also really like the let's eat book. If you have kids or do shows with lots of moms, they would love it too. My girls are always wanting to make things out of that one. I've sold quite a few by just having it standing up on host's coffee tables.
I've only made a couple things out of the good for you book.
 
I just ordered the It's good for you cookbook. I love it.
I posted a thread a few weeks ago census suggested I order All the best from there it was Delightful desserts. HTH
