Her copy, she told me, came from her parents.
It's a must-have. The recipes are easy-to-follow, first of all. I learned how to follow recipes by using this book with my mother.
One of my first-ever on-my-own cooking experiences came from this book, the orange chicken. I'm still alive and well-fed, and everyone loved that meal. So the book works.
When I hosted my first dinner party a couple weeks ago, a Thanksgiving feast, no less, this book taught me easy ways to do EVERYTHING required. I knew how to make the turkey, where to insert the meat thermometer, what spices to add to the mashed potatoes.
This book helps you get every meal just right. It's essential, an heirloom, a tradition and a must for everyone who cooks.
There was so much new and useful information included in the eleventh edition I wished I'd let go of my old copy earlier. I am especially fond of the nutrition analysis included with each recipe and the tips for making recipes lower in fat. The prep-times included with each recipe were also a new, and very useful, feature to me. Plus the editors upgraded the book to reflect the wider availability of formerly "exotic" fruits and vegetables now in the everyday market.
The fledgling cook will find everything needed to confidently accomplish any task from hard-boiling an egg to properly setting the table for a family meal or a buffet-style party. Pesky, but common, cooking terms like "al dente" and "crisp-tender" are explained in a straight forward manner in the cooking basics section where you will also find great tips for stocking a pantry or purchasing the basic cooking equipment you might need when just starting out.
Useful features for all levels of cook are scattered throughout the text. For example, there is a full-page photograph of different pastas with the name under each (finally! I now know the difference between Gemelli and Fusilli!). Also very useful are the extensive illustrative photos of retail cuts of meat cross-referenced to the wholesale cut and listing the best way to cook each cut.
One of my favorite things about the hardcover cookbook is the three-ring binder format. This makes it possible to lay the book flat on the counter or prop it up nearby with, or without, a cookbook stand. It also makes it easier to add your own notes right alongside your favorite recipes.
I love to give this cookbook as a gift to a young person just starting out -- inside a big crockpot or tied together with some fun kitchen tools.

I love every part of my book. I have a few other books, but this is the one I pick up everyday. They even have a website that you can log on and get answers to questions or just meet other disney goers. I'll never purchase another book as long as they continue to make the Passporter.
It is the very best source for on-site hotel information and includes maps of WDW resorts, room layouts, amenities, WDW transportation system times to theme parks, and more.
Outstanding summaries of all major and minor attractions throughout Disney World include information on the waterparks, Downtown Disney, and Disney Quest.
Whether you're a first-time Disney visitor or a seasoned Mouseketeer, you'll find this informative and visually pleasing guide to be invaluable. An added bonus for scrapbookers are the memory pockets that provide a handy place for journaling and keeping momentos from your trip.
If you only buy one guide for Disney World, make it this one -- you won't be sorry!
Not only is the 2002 Deluxe Edition comprehensive about everything you would ever want to know regarding the parks,the resorts, the rides, the shops, the food.. everything.. You also get diagrams of the resorts and property.. maps of the area, several "passpockets" in the back to help you keep track of all your information, (meal reservations, postcards,stamps.. notes.. lists of photo shots.. etc.. Basically anything you would want to keep handy before,during and after your trip). It's really a great asset for those scrapbookers too!!! It also has great kids ratings!
And just when you thought it was too good to be true.. You can access to updated information on the Passporter website and get the last bit information before you go.. or order extra Passpockets for your Passporter.. Don't leave for the World without it!!! =)
