Junior's Home Cooking: Over 100 Recipes for Classic Comfort Food

I love all the Junior's cookbooks. This one is fantastic as well. I like to prepare food that tastes good and has easy to find ingredients. I am not that big on making anything super quick but I do like to a least do the prep prior to the cooking. This book has a variety of quick dishes as well as some that take somewhat longer to make. Of course there are not too many foods for super low calorie diets (so if you are on that 500 calorie a day diet like some of my friends are or have been than this is NOT the book for you). If you love comfort food and food that doesn't call for a lot of difficult to find items (i.e., truffles from Italy gathered in the early fall and harvested at the peak of freshness) then I would recommend this for you. I don't like to go to multiple grocery stores to look for items for a recipe and then end up with a whole bunch of stuff that I will not use often. I like this book because it offeres simple, comfort type foods that I can make easily. These are classic American type dishes that you will use over and over in your meal repitoire.We still have the famous cheesecake in here (as in all of the books) but it is sooooo worht the effort to make it. Honest, you have to try it. You will become the most popular person when you serve this cheesecake. It is the best. Yes, it requires effort but this little cookbook will give you all the tips and tricks needed to get that cheesecake just right. Sure there are cheesecakes that are easier to make (trust me, I have friends who have make a funky concoction they call cheeseake that it not even baked). Once you have made this you will never, ever,ever go back to anything in a box or that says it will taste super terrific with no baking needed. Oh my, I am carrying on about the cheesecake... Honestly, I don't make it often but when I do it has been the toast of the town and eveyone loved it (honest). But don't buy the book just for the cheescake (although if you really love it....). Buy this book because you love classic and simple American food (and because you can find all the stuff you need at the local Kroger, Winn Dixie or Safeway or Food Lion or whatever store you have close by where you live).

This cookbook is chock full of well-established recipes. I've earmarked a bunch to try. I would usually wait to make a few before reviewing but I've been cooking long enough to know that those I want to try will be good. There is even a cheesecake recipe in the book. Junior's is especially known for their cheesecake (FYI there is also a Junior's cookbook based on cheesecake). I have lots of cookbooks but only regularly use a few of them. I suspect this one will be added to the often used shelf!

Okay, I will admit my friends who are QVC buffs turned me onto Junior's. At first it started with the cheesecake and one thing lead to another. I will have to state that I am by no means an expert baker, cake decorator or so on, however, by following the recipes and the hints I have been able to turn out many wonderful cheesecakes. Now we can go into comfort food type items and these are not low fat, not really "light" but wonderful warming and nostalgic foods. The recipes are easy and you will get the desired results if you follow the recipe exactly. If you are more comfortable in the kitchen then you can play with ingredients and turn out something wonderful as well. What I really like about the Junior's cookbooks is that they give you a little bit of history along with wonderful tips and advice to follow. I will admit there are recipes in this book that are included in others but it still makes a wonderful addition to your collection and gives you a few twists on familiar comfort foods.

I have about five hundred cookbooks, some of them very good, but I just read through this cookbook and it is now my favorite. The RECIPES are fantastic and the instructions are easy to follow and most don't take long to make. It is full of tips on the best techniques to use for the recipes.Sometimes I buy a cookbook and only find four or five recipes I want to try. With this book there are 100 recipes and I want to try about eighty of them. Don't hesitate to buy this one. You will be very happy with it I think.

This Brooklyn girl misses Junior's since I no longer live there. I went to college across the street from Junior's (Long Island University) and had lunch there daily. As a young child my parents would take me when we would go to a Sunday movie in downtown Brooklyn. Now I can make some of my favorite Junior's foods right in my own kitchen!

Excellent book. Lot's of pictures and great recipes. I can pretty much guarantee that if I make a recipe from any of the Junior's cookbooks, everyone is going to rave about it and want me to share the recipe. I've only had this book a couple of weeks, but it has already started to make me look like a really good cook.

Not the overall healthiest eating, but when you really want food that takes you back to childhood- this has some great recipes.

Wonderful recipes. I am a Brooklyn native and went to Junior's each Friday to meet my future husband. Great memories, great food.

Delivered from supplier in the USA so took a few weeks to get here.Book in nice condition.I bought this after visiting a Juniors restaurant while in New York. This book has some great recipes in it, but I'm slightly disappointed that only like 1 in 3 recipes has a photo to show what the food looks like which in my opinion would make it so much better.

Muy buen producto, articulo de buena calidad, llegó rápido y sin problemas. Estoy muy conforme y lo recomiendo. Muy bien
