Eat Dessert First!
By ACA6HYGMU5FIZ on 2006-09-16
First of all, this cookbook is just lovely. The pages are nice, clear, easy to read, and sprinkled with great stories about memorable meals and cooking disasters!
True to Red Hat Society spirit, the dessert section of the book comes first; all lesser items come second.
The book is large, with recipes that have been tested by ordinary women (is there really such a thing?) all over the world.
This cookbook will make a lovely and useful addition to every cook's collection!
Great Book!

Divine Dancing Diva Approved !
By A2OIX4KBD3FVC5 on 2006-09-22
As a member in RED standing of the Divine Sisterhood of the Dancing Divas, Red Hat Society-- this is not only a great book about our group but an excellent multi-purpose cookbook as well. Some of the high points are a collection of the "Impossible" recipes using baking mix that are always easy and tasty. Additionally, a large section in the back is devoted to cooking for one or two and this is especially welcome. I tried about a half dozen recipes, each was easy to follow and turned out yummy. My only suggestion or comment is that the print is a little small, but that is simply to accomodate the large number of recipes included. A good addition to any cookbook collection and a charming gift for anyone.
Red Hat Cookbook
By A2L26E1C7Y4LDZ on 2006-11-17
I have been in the Red Hat Society for four years now and love it. But I was very disappointed in the cookbook. I enjoyed some of the stories but too many of the recipes were almost the same. I would have thought they could have chosen the best one and not print the other recipes just because one or two ingredients were different. I collect cookbooks, but this one will not be in my collection.
A celebration of food, easy preparations, and growing older with culinary taste in mind.
By A14OJS0VWMOSWO on 2006-10-15
Over a thousand recipes follow the credo 'if it's not delicious, we're not eating it!', and come from the experienced kitchens of the over-50 Red Hat Society ladies. Unlike most cookbooks, desserts begin the introduction with dishes ranging from a low-fat Lemon Icebox Pie to Spiced Eggnog Cheesecake and a moist Pink Lady Cake. Soups, breads, salads and main dishes follow in a celebration of food, easy preparations, and growing older with culinary taste in mind.

- Fun With The Red Hat Cooks
By A21KKREAGBKPUH on 2007-01-31
This is an entertaining cookbook. In addition to some very interesting-sounding recipes, it contains humorous anecdotes about members of the Red Hat Society. I am anxious to try the recipe for Brown Bag Apple Pie, since it is the only recipe for piecrust that I've ever seen which uses Vegetable oil instead of butter or shortening. I have tried the Cheesy Meatloaf recipe and my husband said it was the best meatloaf he'd ever had.
If you're a cookbook enthusiast, this is a worthwhile addition to your collection.
- Old is New
By A2CJSLH44KYA8W on 2007-02-16
These recipes are tried and true. Many of them are in my personal recipe file. What's fun is finding them in various areas of the country and reading some of the comments made by the Ladies in Red! It's a fun, easy to follow cookbook. Not too challenging, and yet the recipes rate high in flavor and appearance. A must have cookbook, especially for the beginning chef!
- Best cookbook read in a long time....
By A93KMB2G4OC68 on 2006-11-09
Such a pleasant experience....I read this book through in just a few days, savoring the recipes as well as the clever illustrations and
stories about the Red Hat members. The wide variety of recipes..from
Pink Champagne Cake to the Magnolia Special and on to the Prunacolada towards the end...kept me fascinated.

By A1K1VMHF34TX5J on 2007-06-07
I have so many cookbooks, that I sometimes see the same recipes over and over. This one has new and different recipes. I have already tried some, and look forward to trying many others. I love the chapter on tea time treats. It is a pretty book too! I love this one!

I ALREADY OWNED THIS BOOK, AND I PURCHASED IT AGAIN THROUGH
AMAZON FOR A GIFT. THE PERSON WHO RECEIVED IT, ALSO LOVES IT

- Loved the Hat Ladies
By A3ATVSF0HTVSZN on 2007-11-21
Have not tried any of the recipes, but I loved the design, format and the women in the hats theme. As a young girl growing up, all the Women wore hats every where. You don't see that these days. Only the church ladies are still keeping the tradition up. This book deserves all five stars.
- A Great Cookbook
By A1F0JFRIEGEBZ6 on 2007-12-30
This cookbook is a joy to read and has wonderful recipes. They are easy to follow and use products we common folk understand. I would recommend this cookbook to anyone who likes to cook and especially to those who like to eat!
Although I am not a member of the Red Hat Society, many of my friends and relatives are. My introduction to this cookbook came about through my husband who checked it out at our local library thinking I might enjoy looking through it. I read cookbooks like most people read novels. And, I have an extensive collection of cookbooks. He was correct. I immediately checked out Amazon.com to see if they had it and they did! The book was a Christmas present from my husband. Lucky me.

- Great cookbook!
By A1A7540NCJ5RNM on 2008-03-25
What an amazing variety in one book - well worth the money - you can find your old favorite receipes in one place for a change - plus so much more. If you want to have fun with a cookbook, try this one.
- Funny Full of Surprises
By A1NRFBGZZRP59L on 2008-04-29
I wasn't sure what to expect from the Red Hat Ladies but I got my money's worth in this cookbook! I love the way the desserts are first and there are many recipes in this book that I've never seen before and I'm an avid cookbook collector.
- Save your fork!
By A2Y8M72LXAOSSJ on 2008-07-16
We have always been told to save our forks for dessert. This book offers many "fork tested" recipes. Enjoy!
- The Red Hat Society Cookbook
By AJH7MTBC9LXVI on 2008-09-02
The Red Hat Society Cookbook is wonderful! I ordered one for myself originally and enjoyed it so much that I ordered another for my daughter and one for my sister for her birthday.
It has great dessert recipes for a majority of the book (what could be more important?) but also recipes for the rest of the meal, too. Sprinkled in between the recipes are stories from Red Hatters that have had embarrassing moments or new cook moments in the kitchen. They are so funny-I've laughed til I cried!. You could sit down, read the book, not cook a thing and still enjoy it. : ) The recipes are very down to earth with ingredients you normally have in your kitchen everyday. I heartily recommend this book and give it 5 stars.
