For a more intimate present, you may want to try . . .
Rating:
4 / 5
I am an avid, but amateur chef and am getting married in Fall 05. I've looked at a number of bride-groom cookbooks. So far, my favorite is NOT ON LOVE ALONE by Jessie Carry Saunders. It has a friendlier, more intimate tone than any of the others -- it feels like something written by a bride for other brides.
It has a friendly, appealing feel, like the author is in the kitchen with you, telling you stories about the recipes as she teaches you how to make them. Also, it's just a higher quality book -- it's a hard cover, the pages are nice and thick, and the watercolor illustrations on every page make the book seem like something you could display on your coffee table as easily as you could use it in the kitchen.
If you want a good cookbook, any of the various newlywed cookbooks will work fine. If you want an excellent present for a wedding or a bridal shower, my recommendation is NOT ON LOVE ALONE.
One of my favorite newer Betty Crocker books. I collect them

Not only is this book a treasure trove of cooking information, the book contains excellent photographs and illustrations.
Best of all, the book is hardbound using sturdy pages. A rare find, even for the newer Betty Crocker cookbooks which have thin pages, so I can see the Bridal edition lasting a few years. Perhaps long enough to be passed along to a child when they marry or leave home.
The downside is most recipes are basic and not too zippy. As always, Betty Crocker shines with her baking recipes and tips.
Great Cookbook!

I just bought this cookbook and it is the best! Recipes are good, clear and easy to follow. I recommend this to everybody, not just beginners.
