A Classic

Customer Rating:
I got my mothers old book that she used as I was growing up. The book was used so much that she had it in a three ringed binder. The pages were old and tatered. I bought this book to replace the old one. I plan on cutting out the binding, laminating the pages and also placing it in a three ringed binder. I love using my make a mix recipes. It makes cooking and baking a snap.

This is an awesome book. I would prefer to make things from scratch and this book is perfect for that. I love it, and everyone I know who has this book feels the same way I do. Buy it, you'll love it!

Recipe for success

This is the second copy of this book that I've had. I was given the original back in the 80's by an American friend. When I took some mixes on a house boat holiday with friends recently they were fascinated and asked me to try and get a copy for them. That's when I found the new edition, and its so much better than the original with many more ideas and reduced fat versions. I use it even more now.

Make a Mix is a BLAST

Wow....this book has been fantastic...and I've pretty much boxed up the majority of my cookbooks, but this one is in the kitchen on the counter. My whole family have enjoyed the Mixes from this book...I like having the containers that hold the mixes readily available, thus making the mix speedy and effective...my grandkids really enjoy the rolls that "gramma" makes from the Make a Mix...I also made a memory for them to remember this gramma's cooking!!!! It's awesome!

Wonderful!

I LOVE love love this cookbook. I love to make things from scratch for so many reasons and this cookbook has changed my life! I admit that I've been borrowing the book from my local library but hope to get my own soon. This cookbook is saving me so much money because I am able to buy things like chicken breast (which can be quite expensive for us budget-conscious people) in bulk and make TONS of meal "bases". I have told my friends about this cookbook and they're getting into it as well. It's gotten exciting for us to tell each other how much we spent on our groceries and how many meals we'll get out of it.

I'm thinking about holding a Make A Mix cooking class for my MOPS group if I can figure out exactly how to put one together.

This might sound lame, but this is the most excited I've gotten about a cookbook EVER. Last night we had the sour cream enchiladas. My husband took one bite, closed his eyes and smiled. It was fabulous. I make the dinner rolls all of the time. I made meatballs for the freezer last night. I was able to make a menu for the next 3 weeks (included some dishes that I'll freeze) and it was so easy since I have several of the mixes already prepared or ready to put together.

I can't recommend this book highly enough. I'd love to see another one come o
