This is a great cookbook. I had been a Nancy Drew fan for years and I still am because of collecting books and items related to the series. Surprisingly I had never heard of this book, (I was not into food or cooking when I was a teen-ager!) and was compelled to purchase it immediately from one of the images showing one of the pages that listed potato pancakes as a recipe. I hate the modern recipe of potato pancakes so I figured a 1973 book would have what I was looking for. and it was! It was the back to basic recipe and easy as well as are all the other recipes in the book. I like simple food and the food recipes offered in this book are wonderful. I suffer from severe migraines and most restaurant and prepared foods are full of the wrong ingredients that give me the headaches or swell up my feet with the excessive salt they put in the food. There are too many exotic ingredients in food preparation today. I like simple foods, simple ingredients that are healthy for you. The recipes offered today are too unhealthy and full of too many ingredients that I do not like and that do not agree with my body. So this book is a winner. I am already using it for recipes and have marked all the ones I am going to use. Take me back to when I was young and could get simple food from my mom at dinner time! I just LOVE THIS BOOK!!! You don't have to be a teen to use it or want it. It is for anyone that wants to cook for themselves using basic ingredients. It is great for young people to learn how to cook since so many cooking terms are included for explanation and a list of the weights and measures. All the instructions are easy and complete to follow. This book was just right up my alley!!! Read full review

The recipes aren't anything overwhelming; but thought it would be fun to own. I mainly purchased this because my daughter and I used to read Nancy Drew books together. I love to cook, and collect cookbooks as well.

Growing up with Nancy Drew I was delighted the get the Nancy Drew cookbook. The recipes are interesting and easy to read and I even recognized some of the meals from the series! Highly recommended if you loved the girl detective growing up.

Being a huge Nancy Drew fan I LOVE this book. Some of the receipes are old fashioned and don't sound very good, if your not a somewhat experienced cook I don't know that I would recommend this as a cookbook. I have tried 3 receipes so far and with a little tweaking they turned out really good. The nostalgia and the link to Nancy Drew is what makes it really special.I have enjoyed thumbing through the book and look foward to trying new receipes!
If you grew up with Nancy Drew, as many of us did, this cookbook is a delightful addition to her mystery series. It has all kinds of fun sounding names for the different recipes. It makes cooking and entertaining a lot of fun. Not to mention that it is a great conversation piece. If you are a true Nancy Drew fan, this is definitely a great addition to your collection. I know that I had one as a kid, but it has been long lost. I was glad to see it again.
This is a funny collection of recipes that are themed after different stories from the Nancy Drew catalogue. I had to keep in mind while reading that these recipes were written in the 70's. They are rich and different. But I must admit they are entertaining and there are quite a few that I look forward to trying. A fun read for a Nancy Drew fan, and good starter book for sluthes who want to cook.
I am a cookbook collector and am glad to include Nancy Drew in my collection. The book has quick, easy recipes for the young cook in the house. Clues for making the recipe brighter or tangier. Great book for Nancy Drew fans young or old.
It was purchased as a gift and the wife loves it!!!

What a wonderful piece of nostalgia! Written in the style of the Nancy Drew books it has some of the recipes from the mystery books. It made me smile at the complete disregard for cholesterol, fats, and sugar. Really neat bit of americana.
