Here are 70 tried-and-true recipes, curated over the decades - the "Perfect 10" for each meal category: breakfast, appetizers, salads, soups, entrees, desserts and Thanksgiving - that could become your new go-to dishes for years to come!

"I've been cooking these recipes for years. My partner Sean and I have raised our two children into their young adult years. Through it all, I've cooked for the family pretty much daily - exploring new recipes, perfecting old ones, and carrying on the cooking and culinary traditions I've carried with me since I was a child. I hope these will become your own go-to's, whether you have friends coming over, you are stumped on what to cook for yourself or your family, or you are asked to bring a dish to a friend's house. These are recipes I can guarantee will be crowd-pleasers. They are easy, tried-and-true, and ones my own tribe requests over and over again. I hope this collection of recipes makes your life easier, and eliminates your having to wade through cookbooks and websites when you are a bind. Just grab this one off the shelf, and let me help you." - Tim Mulligan
