I am thinking about buying the "All the Best" recipe book, but am on the fence. I LOVE wreaths and rings, have never done a braid.....can anyone give me a sneak peak of a few pages of the book? I hear it's got great "how-to's"....
 
I don't have a way to send pictures - but GET IT! This is the very best cookbook - and just about every recipe is a proven winner. You will love it, and you will sell it when you show it to people!

Oh - and I've never done a wreath, ring, or braid for a show - and only done a couple outside of a show. Yes, there is a great photo spread with pictured step-by-step instructions on doing them, and several recipes to go along with the photos, but that is just one small section of the book!

Hot Pizza Dip,
Mini Ham Puffs
Turtle Fudge Skillet Cake
Clubhouse Chicken Squares
Chicken Fajita Pizza
Cool & Creamy Chocolate Fondue

Just to name a few of the winners in the book!
 
I totally agree with Becky - it is my FAVORITE cookbook and I suggest it to customers all the time!!!! It really is the BEST cookbook!!!
 
no need to preview - just get it :)
 
Personally, I think this book should come in the kit.

That would be wonderful! The rings, wreaths and braids look intimidating, but after trying them, they are quite easy and a crowd pleaser. Don't hesitate, get it! You'll love it! I joke at my shows about how beat up it is...that's 'cause it's "the best"!
 
I borrowed it from my Director & kept it while she was gone on vacation. When she returned & I gave it back, I missed it so much I ended up ordering it for myself. I had not yet started my collection, but a recent host had almost EVERY cookbook. I sat down & looked through each of them and agree that "All the Best" is definitely the BEST of the cookbooks. I just got mine in the mail yesterday and am super excited!!!
 
I have this cookbook and absolutely love it~ I use it all the time.
 
I am a cookbook person. I have about 150 and my mom has about 900. I like to look at cookbooks before I buy them. So I bought all the cookbooks over the past year so that my customers can look through them. I have the rolling case and all of them slide into the side pocket. So, I agree that the All the Best is wonderful - for customers sake, I would get it no matter what.

I LOVE cookbooks too! Especialy the one that "real people" sent in their recipes. I buy them a lot. Rarely use them but I like having them anyway. I love the "Calling All Cooks" series....have you heard of them? They may jsut be in the South since one the the telephone companies do them. They are VERY thick and have TONS of recipes in them for about $15.
 
Just buy it. It's well worth it.

ME TOO! I don't even know how many cookbooks I have. I know that people walk into my kitchen, and say "Wow - you have a lot of cookbooks"!

Then I take them into the Family Room, and show them the bookshelves full of them in there too. I also have them in my bedroom on bookshelves.

I have antique and rare cookbooks, fun ones, quirky ones....I read cookbooks from cover to cover like novels!:D

I have not heard of those, but sounds right up my alley! My faves are the gooseberry cookbooks - I like the stories and ideas they have in them.
