We have owned this book since it came out and it is still our #1 go to book for great and delicious recipes.  The molasses marinated flank steak with watermelon salsa is one of the best things I've ever eaten.  The buttermilk brine for chicken is so sinfully delicious that we even brine our Thanksgiving turkey in that every year and then smoke it.  I cannot say enough wonderful things about this great book.

I approached this book with great hope and I have not been disappointed.  From the Cherry Strudel to the Kolbasz to the cabbage recipes to the spaetzle and everything in between, all have had very, very good, to spectacular results.  It is becoming one of my "go to" cookbooks as the results are always great.

For beginners, I recommend reading through the different parts of the book where she describes cooking processes and tips and ingredients.  I am an experienced cook and I found some of her tips and insights new and helpful.

If you long for the aromas and flavors of your childhood but don't have your aunt's/grandmother's/mother's recipes, this really is the book for you.

I remember purchasing this cookbook when it first came out and I was seeking ways of finding good vegetarian recipes to fit my then new "food style." Over the years, I have had to buy this book 5 times because every time I lent it out, I never got it back! Now, with the updated edition, it will NOT be leaving my kitchen ever again. The recipes are easy to prepare and the flavors are wonderful. If this is the first time seeking information on how to prepare tofu that the family will enjoy, you will NOT be disappointed with this great collection of recipes.

It is full of delicious recipes and healthy!!! I have had this book for over a year and it is my go to recipe book. I use the recipes several times per week! Superhero muffins, morracon salad, truffles, dressings, energizing chai tea and more!

I have used this book for over 25 years and it is still the book I turn to when I want to make fried rice, asparagus with hollandaise sauce, or shrimp scampi.  Those are just a few of the easy, delicious recipes I learned from this book.

Growing up, my mom used this book to make so many delicious treats that we practically had the book memorized. When I married and moved away, I knew that I absolutely *had* to have it and was so happy to find it through amazon for less than four dollars! Couldn't be happier with it - it is my go-to cookbook for baking anything. The recipes are reliable and so far we haven't found one we don't like. I cannot say enough good things about it! I will be proud to pass this along to my daughter when I have one. :)

I absolutely love this cookbook. I've had it for about 6 months now, and I've made so many of the recipes over and over again. I adored Liddon's first cookbook, but this one has even simpler recipes with big flavors. Like, I made the sundried tomato hummus and the kale salad from this book about every week. Even my 17 month old son loves the food from this book. I'm really a big fan of her recipes and cookbooks. I wish she had more out! Of all the vegan cookbooks I've tried, this is by far the best in terms of flavor and execution. Her food never gets old to me.

I love this cookbook! It was the first cookbook I ever had, and even though I've collected many, many cookbooks in the years since, it's the one I keep coming back to over and over again.
Even though it's not as long as many of Betty Crocker's subsequent cookbooks, this book has all the best recipes -- literally everything you need to make wonderful meals, side dishes, breads and desserts for your family or company.
Many of the recipes come with interesting and helpful side-notes which tell you how to make simple variations to the basic recipe. Whether I'm looking for a yummy, kid-pleasing dish to feed my family or something more impressive for company, this book has it all!

I love love LOVE this cookbook! I'm the kind of person that collects cookbooks and hardly uses them; I often find just a few recipes I like and the book collects dust while I continue to order takeout. This, however is different. I've been following Oh She Glows for years and have always loved how accessible Angela's recipes are. The ingredients she uses are more or less easy to come by, the instructions are easy to follow with beautiful pictures, and the food is always delicious!! Her cookbook is no exception. I have gotten a ton of use out of this sucker, and am recommending it to all my friends. 10/10!

My husband received this book from a relative after his first wife died and he had to raise two children alone. He used this cookbook constantly. The first time he ever cooked dinner for me, he made the Biscuit Casserole. Delicious! When we married, I began to use the book, too. Some of our family's favorites were Biscuit Casserole, Swiss Chicken, Honey Chicken, Teriyaki Chicken. . . (I still make the Swiss Chicken when I want to really impress someone and I always come across as a gourmet cook!) In 2003 we lost our home in a fire and it took me a long time to find another copy. Now I use it frequently again, making the same things as before and trying new ones (Tamale Pie tonight). I haven't tried anything that isn't delicious. The only negative is that the book was written so long ago that a "large" jar of Ragu sauce has a different meaning these days, so you will have to do some experimentation re: size. If the book is ever printed again, it would be good to have actual sizes of ingredients listed, plus sizes of cooking pans and the number of people a recipe will feed.

This is one of the rare cook books that I just keep coming back to over and over. I've tried a few dozen recipes and love every one of them. I can honestly say that the Sanctuary Dressing recipe has changed my life LOL!  Some of our favorites are:

Hottie Blacked Eyed Peas And Green
Sanctuary Dressing
Black Bean, Olive and Zucchini tacos
Silky Chickpea Gravy
40 Clove Chickpea and Broccoli
Ginger Mashed Sweet Potato and Apples
Edamame Pesto
Soft Broccoli Polenta
Scallion Pancakes

and I could go on and on... Plus Isa's commentary on each recipe makes me smile. She keeps it real and understands that most of us are just looking for good eats that won't pack on the pounds. This book is a winner in many aspects especially if you are trying to lose weight and stick with whole foods.

I have worn out this cookbook!  I absolutely love it!  I learned how to make ghee, parathas, curry powder, garam masala, paneer, chipatees and indian fudge (burfi).
It has many delicious recipes. Everything from rice to beens to koftas!  Wonderful!  I've only come across a couple that were bland for my taste.  By far one of the best books on Indian cooking there is.  My copy is worn and dirty. I only wish they would have made it spiral bound instead with coated pages.

This book remains wonderful!  Recipes are clearly written, preceded by brief descriptions of what makes them special, varied (e.g., including unyeasted breads), healthful, and delicious.  I hated the new Moosewood Cookbook so much that I threw it out (the original contains delicious but overly rich recipes) - but this one is both healthful and delicious.  I can't imagine why it went out of print, but it is worth buying secondhand.  HIGHLY recommended!

This is an older cookbook... I use dot have this years ago when I was young and setting up my first home on my own. I lost the book somewhere along the way. I just rebought it and love it. It is full of easy delicious meals. I have remade and old favorites and a new recipe I had not tried before. I have many more that I want to try. I think this will be one of my go-to cookbooks.

This is a wonderful recipe book to put your special recipes in so you never lose them.  I bought this book and I'm keeping all my favorite recipes in it with notations here and there on how I might make the recipe "my way" or maybe changed a few of the steps to better the recipe or whater... then someday when I'm gone, this book will be there for my kids in case they ever want to make things the way "mom used to make it".  I wish my mother would have done that for me but I guess she never thought of the idea and when she passed away, I remember missing all the dishes she would make "her way" and special "concoctions" she would make that were delicious!  Luckily, I paid close attention to the dinners and things she would make and even though they don't have "her touch" they're definitely close to what she would make - so all these recipes and a lot of my own specialties I have been writing to keep in this recipe journal.  The book is perfect except for one small issue - I have to write small so that all the ingredients fit in the section for the list and then write small again to make sure it all fits in the instructions section. I'm not saying you have to write so small that you almost can't read it, but just a little smaller than you're normally used to writing.  Besides this small issue, I recommend this recipe book for anyone to keep their best recipes or to have a recipe keepsake book like I'm using it for... I also LOVE the cover - it's beautiful!

One of our best cookbooks (and we have many). The recipes are uncomplicated and can be used for everyday meals cooked after work, but every recipe we have tried is delicious and has a distinctive flavor.

We love this cookbook.  Every recipe we have tried has been a do over!  Its amazing and all measurements are very accurate.  We cant pick a favorite!  If you are looking for a good variety of recipes this is definitely a good starter book.  It isn't a thick book but it has plenty of great recipes!
