Now that we've had the $2 version for almost a season, do you like the deluxe version versus the old style $1 one? should PC scrap it or keep it?
 
I love the color photos. I don't like the font/typeface they used for the titles though, it seemed old fashioned for some reason. I like how there were so many new recipes and the layout is nice. I hope they continue making them this way. $2 is still an awesome price! :)
 
I agree with Amanda!
 
Keep it! I love it. I like having photos for every recipe, and color is just so much more visually appealing.
 
Everyone seems to love the color version. And it's still only $2 - where can you get a cookbook for $2? I love that they didn't repeat any past recipes. I hope they keep that up.
 
Keep it! People love the color pictures and the fact that they are all new recipes. As long as they keep it this way, the $2 price is not objectionable.
:chef:
 
I liked the color, layout, and LOVED the recipes. $2 is fine, no problem from my guests.
 
Ditto on what everyone else posted.
 
I like the color recipes, I LOVE most of the recipes that are in this one, and where else can you buy $2 greeting cards? ;)
 
Love it! So happy to see NEW recipes too! And they are all good ones!
 
Love it! <3
 
I do love it to and the price is great. Although that being said, since that is what I give to my hosts as a thank you gift my cost has gone up. I know not much, but just the same at this point in time it seems like I am doing a lot more spending than I should and we do not have the extra.
