The Foster's Market Cookbook: Favorite Recipes for Morning, Noon, and Night Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Sara Foster's "Foster's Market Cookbook" is a hands-down winner. She combines a comfortable manner with comfort food galore--usually comfort food with just enough of a twist to make it new and interesting. Granny Foster's Refrigerator Rolls (which keep for an amazing two weeks in the fridge if you want to put off baking them) are highly recommended!
In addition to featuring terrific, simple, delicious recipes, the layout of the book makes it a breeze to read. It's amazing to me how many cookbooks are actually sort of hard to follow when it comes to the directions, but this one isn't. The design is attractive and the font easy to read. Each recipe direction is numbered--a wonderful thing if you happen to look away and lose your place. For the most part, each recipe is complete on a single page and when this is not the case, the recipe is usually complete on the facing page. This makes following the recipes a breeze. This one is a keeper.

The Old-Time Brand-Name Cookbook: Recipes, Illustrations, and Advice from the Early Kitchens of America's Most Trusted Food Makers (Abradale Books) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I am surprised at how much I love this book! I would call it a compendium of social, industrial, culinary, agricultural, USAmerican women's history. And yet there's nothing pretentious about it-- it's homey, in fact, and quite usable for a cookbook with such a theme. Crumpacker pulls off quite a feat: updating old-fashioned American recipes without making kitsch of them, which other similar books do. I recommend this book to everyone interested in cooking and the many contexts in which recipes are invented, reproduced, and prepared, and I plan to give a copy to all my foody friends!

For years, Bunny Crumpacker has been collecting recipe pamphlets by such classic American food companies as Carnation, Hershey's, and Gold Medal Flour. With dishes ranging from Bubbly Cinnamon Toast to Frank Sinatra's Mother's Spaghetti and Meatballs, this delightful, nostalgia-rich collection harkens back to an era when families at all their meals together and homely comfort food reigned supreme.

Civil War Recipes: Receipts from the Pages of Godey's Lady's Book Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Interesting history on the diets of the Civil War soldiers as well as authentic recipes from the home front. Many are the basis of our recipes today. I had a lot of fun trying some of them and they were delicious. The historical section at the beginning was well researched and very interesting reading.
