Pillsbury: Best of the Bake-Off Cookbook: 50th Anniversary Edition

Over the years I have often turned to Pillsbury Bake-Off recipes for innovative appetizers, meals and desserts. I was happily surprised to discover that this cookbook, of over 350 award-winning recipes from the Bake-Off contests, had been published. I bought it recently and have not been disappointed.It is true that many of the recipes call for prepackaged or convenience foods. However, the time saved in preparation and the wonderful tasting results prove that, sometimes, the ends justify the means.Some of my favorites include: Corn and Pumpkin Soup with Jalapeno Pesto, White Chile with Salsa Verde, Creamy Spinach and Tortellini; Grilled Chicken and Mango Corn Salad, Crafty Crescent Lasagna, Salsa Couscous Chicken, California Casserole, Chewy Peanut Brownie Bars, Lemon Meringue Dessert Squares...and I could go on and on.The photographs are beautiful and illustrate the finished product, as well as provide some attractive serving ideas. The step-by-step instructions are easy to follow. "Best Of The Bake-Off" also provides a hands-on history of the evolution of American cooking over the last 50+ years, with short spotlight stories about many of the Bake-Off winners. This fun and easy-to-use cookbook is, in and of itself, a real prize-winner!!JANA

I am covered with flour, my hands are greasy with butter and I reek of vanilla!!! Great cookbook, so glad I bought it, it has a ton of recipes so there are plenty for any home cook to use from appetizers to desserts!!

The book arrived earlier than expected. It was a gift and the receiver loves it!

I made the Banana Crunch cake included in this cookbook and it was heavenly and is now my favorite cake. You can't go wrong with buying the cookbook. The seller got it to my quickly.

This also another good cookbook by Pillsbury. Really easy to make recipes and they are very good.My friends and family have enjoyed the things I've made so far.

Perfect and lots of interesting facts.

Couldn't wait for it to arrive. Was more than satisfied with the contents. So many good recipes all tried and true. Couldn't go wrong with the price either

Awesome cookbook, lost my last one in move and it arrived in great condition.
