    Highly recommended - a real classic!

    For anyone passionate about cooking and classic cuisine, this is an essential part of their library. I ordered this after seeing a friend's beloved cookbook which was almost 50 years old filled with notes, marked recipes and obviously used with great regularity. I treasure mine and may order one in hardcover even though it is much more expensive. It's a "must have."

    Highly Recommended

    "I'm going to break one of the rules of the trade here. I'm going to tell you some of the secrets of improvisation. Just remember - it's always a good idea to follow the directions exactly the first time you try a recipe. But from then on, you're on your own." Beard, The Best Of Beard, pg. 6

    Use this book, and you will be a great cook. Follow the recipes closely, and then improvise.

    If you only buy one book, buy this one.

    Smart cookbook for beginners or chefs-

    This is James Beard's basic cookbook. It's great for beginners- I gave a copy to my nephew when he got his first apartment. Beard is funny, writes well and gives insights that are still useful for seasoned cooks.

    Top Chef

    This is a rewrite of the original James Beard book, that my Mom gave me 35 yrs ago. I still use many of the recipes, with my favorites being the PIES. His pie crust is the best, bar none... and believe me I've tried a million of them. My husband is a pie man and my mom baked every week, either a pie or cake or both, so I have carried on the tradition I think this is essential in the kitchen, especially the beginner cook, because there are no bad recipies.
    James Beard remains, for me, truly a Top Chef!
