Best of the Best from New England Cookbook: Selected Recipes from the Favorite Cookbooks of Rhode Island, Connecticut, Massachusetts, Vermont, New Hampshire, and Maine

The contents and presentation I love. I was so excited to get this book. I flipped thru it making notes which recipe to make first. Realized a page was missing. Checked the rest of the book and found out 74 pages total were missing. Mostly one here and there, but one section of 10 pages in a row. I couldn't find anywhere to contact the seller, so I started a return request. And of course, as in typical Amazon fashion, no longer at the price I got it at, but double. But, I like it so much, I'll give them a 2nd chance. If it shows up whole, I'll let you know and change my rating.UPDATE: the new one showed up with all its pages. Changing from one to five stars.

So far I love, love, love this cookbook. It is thick and meaty and chuck full of delicious recipes. There are some from way back and some from not so way back but there are more than quite a few that I remember enjoying in my childhood and was hoping that I could find somewhere. When I got this in I sat down with it right away and it took me about an hour and a half or more to go through it. Now I have to go back and mark all the recipes I want to use that I remember were so delicious and use a different marking system for those that look interesting and would love to try them. I fell like a good meal was just dropped into my lap.

Great little cookbook that cost $4 total as I bought it used and it was in great condition (just a few pages were bent over). Has a lot of interesting recipes that I am eager to try - and as my husband is from the Maine/New Hampshire area he was tickled pink to see quite a few items in there that were mainstays when he grew up and he hasn't really found anything close where we now live in Florida.As I try out recipes, I'll try and remember to come back on here and give individual recipes a shout out as to approval or not! : )

Very pleased

all the regional recipes

It has lots of variety. It's a little for each area in the region,

Being able to make recipes from another part of the country is interesting. Of course there are baked bean and lobster recipes. The cookbook arrived in great condition. The recipes are not difficult to make. I can't wait to try them. This is my third Best of the Best regional state cookbooks.

Jeder hat einen Sehnsuchtsort, den er möglicherweise nie erreichen wird. Bei mir ist es Maine.. In diesem Kochbuch (das Beste aus anderen Büchern) gibt es Clam Chowder und Aplle Pie, dazu Anekdoten, Zeichnungen und Fotos. Das alles wirkt ohne Farbe schön nostalgisch!
