The Fannie Farmer Cookbook

The Fannie Farmer Cookbook Review

The Fannie Farmer Cookbook is a perennial favorite of chefs and home cooks alike. It’s very likely that your own mother has this one tucked away in her pantry and I’m betting that some of her favorite recipes originated from within its pages.

Marion Cunningham is responsible for the revision of the original Fannie Farmer cookbook. Her desire is that you will go into your own kitchen and prepare simple, good tasting food that your family will enjoy together at the kitchen table instead of stopping at that fast food joint on your way home.

The Fannie Farmer Cookbook contains easy to follow recipes that use common household ingredients to prepare. It has comprehensive cooking tips and techniques to help even the newest and youngest cooks feel like pros.

The Fannie Farmer Cookbook will walk you through everything from how to select the freshest ingredients to the best way to prepare them. You won’t find any haute couture recipes in it but you will find a diverse range of chapters on outdoor cooking, microwave cooking, vegetarian cooking, baking, making candy and even how to set a table.

The Fannie Farmer Cookbook carefully explains, in simple English, everything you need to know about spices, different types of cookware, kitchen equipment, how to choose the best meats, vegetables and fish, measurements and their equivalents, making preserves, how to cook an egg, etc., etc., etc. The vegetable section alone makes this cookbook worth its weight in gold, containing a description of all vegetables and the best ways to prepare and serve them.

I highly recommend the purchase of The Fannie Farmer Cookbook for anyone who is interested in good, old fashioned, basic, American cooking and recipes. The Fannie Farmer Cookbook also makes the perfect housewarming gift, wedding or bridal shower gift or for anyone who is just getting started in the world of cooking.
