I am a new consultant and trying to buy some products to use in my demonstrations. I just barely missed the Super starter month 1 but I wanted to get a cookbook that had some good recipes to use for demos.

Which cookbook do you like the best?
 
I can tell you now what everyone will say. We had thread just like this a few months ago. All The Best won hands down!
 
The Season's best truely have a lot of great demo recipes in them. On a personal note, I love the Stoneware Inspirations and All the Best.
 
I think All the Best has a great variety of recipes that work well for shows.
 
I love All The Best & Cooking for Two or More...but they are all pretty good! :D

Thanks you guys! The stoneware one looks really good to me but all I have is the pizza stone. I'm throwing All the Best onto my order.
 
All the Best and Stoneware Inspirations get my vote!
 
All the Best!!! I use something out of it at most every show and use it at home all of the time.
 
ALL THE BEST!! Don't know how I lived without this cookbook before;)
 
I umpteenth the All the Best. It's the one I use most, and it has all the rings that you can make on that round stone of yours! I like Stoneware Inspirations, too. The other ones are good, but I think those are the 2 best!
 
I have stoneware inspirations and all the best. i think all the best is the best for demos. it has rings, braids, and wreaths in it. good luck!
 
All the Best gets my vote too!
 
I know you are already ordering it, but All The Best is my #1 seller....it's the one I always recommend and it's my favorite too!!

Thanks everyone. It will definitely be easier to see something I have tried. :) I'll have to try the stoneware one too. I do an appetizer party that I know comes from that book.
 
The nice thing about the big cookbooks vs. the SBRC is the pictures.

My top selling cookbook is also All the Best. I tell people it's like a "Greatest Hits" album from a band - lots of great recipes and only a couple that make you ask "huh?"
 
I have all the best, and stoneware inspriations, and it's good for you, and cooking for two or more, celebrate, but my fave has to be All the best...... their the most verstale reciepies for demos at least for me, and I use it at home as well...
