Welcome to Cookbook of the Week.
The very first cookbook I ever used:Hersheys Best-Loved Recipes.
That winter, I couldnt stop rifling through each recipe because they actually seemed doable.
(Maybe it was for Concert Band.
Listen, I was cool and it hasnt stopped.)
Much to my delight, my cookies were the first to sell out.
My first culinary ego-boost, and Ive been riding that sugar high ever since.
This book is a collection of crystal-clear recipes with approachable ingredient lists.
Plus, I was buying their cocoa powder anyway.
Show-off culture isnt really helpful for newcomers, and this cookbook brings it back to basics.
The recipes you’re free to expect
This is an entire cookbook devoted to dessert.
The recipe was concise, accurate, and led to a luscious, moist, dark, chocolatey cake.
The only note I have is to double the frosting recipe if you like a more substantial coating.
Luckily its still in print.
I boughta new copyfor a measly $8, and a good number of folksell it usedfor even less.
