Bought to replace a 30 year old, falling to pieces, one. The fact that it was falling to pieces shows how much it has been used over the years. This replacement is considerably updated and is a welcome replacement to our old version.

I bought this more up-to date (not the latest) edition because my 50-year-old Good Housekeeping Cookbook had started to disintegrate. The recipes and layout of the old book is superior. Some of the quantities and cooking times in the newer book are daft. Despite its tatty state, I will continue to use the 50-year-old book.

I purchased this book for my 12 year old granddaughter as I believe good housekeeping can teach her many of the standard skills for cooking. She made a celebration fruit cake as a surprise birthday cake. The recipe included a good chart which adjusted ingredients according to size and shape (round or square). The cake was quick and easy to make. The fruit is evenly spaced and has not sunk as can happen. We are just waiting now to ice it.
Content is good with plenty of ideas - both new and old! Yes it was used and that is fine BUT it came with a strong musty smell which I found off putting for a cook book in particular
