I swear by it. Between that, their TV show and Cook's Illustrated, my cooking skills have increased tenfold.<BR/><BR/>My other go-to for failsafe recipes is the Williams-Sonoma Complete Entertaining Cookbook.

My mom died back in 94, and she was a fantastic cook, and in the months before her death, my sister and I were asking her tons of questions about our favorite recipes that we didn't want to be lost when she died. One that we didn't think about until it was too late was one that I think was in a BC cookbook that we never could find, but I remember part of it. It was a dessert, and it called for 2 cans of pie filling, which you poured in the bottom of a cake pan. Then it was a box of cake mix and a stick of butter, maybe, and I don't remember if you were supposed to melt the butter and mix it in, or just combine it without mixing, or what, but it made some sort of streusel type of thing, that you sprinkled on top of the pie filling, added some nuts and baked. Do you by any chance have something like that in your book?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
