My Thoughts
I just received access to Taste of Home Recipes Across America for review from NetGalley and I have to say that I am duly impressed. I do not usually review cookbooks but this one caught my eye. I have always loved Taste of Home recipes but this cookbook takes it a bit farther in that the recipes are from people all over the country. I have gone ahead and bookmarked a great selection of recipes that I think I will definitely be trying, from breads to veggies and everything in between, from east coast to west. I think that the first ones I will try are the bread recipes. I have not bought a loaf of bread in months as I prefer to make my own and since I received a KitchenAid for Christmas I will be putting it to use. Beware that there are over 655 recipes to chose from.
I think that if you love to cook and bake as I do, then this is definitely the cookbook for you.
I received a copy of the book from NetGalley for review and was not monetarily compensated for my review.
