Really Enjoyed March 10, 2007 2 out of 3 found this review helpful
Thank goodness I read all the reviews and not just the one from "Reader" since I would have missed out on a wonderful cookbook. I also appreciate the ability to peruse all that particular "readers other reviews" since "Reader" had nothing positive to say about anything they reviewed. I also loved the beef stroganoff as did my family. I have cooked many of the recipes for other guests and the response is always the same...what a treat!
Just lovely December 18, 2006 3 out of 3 found this review helpful
What a lovely book and wonderful collection of recipes. This reminds me of all the things I have been meaning to cook for my family - but updated recipies to make it easier and healthier than my Mom's versions.
Try the beef stroganoff - a real winner!
Note to review with the binding problem - use a cook book holder - keeps special books like this clean and it will solve your problem. Personally, I think the book is a beautiful presentation and I have already tucked a few clippings into the recipe pocket.
Wonderful Book August 10, 2006 4 out of 4 found this review helpful
I really enjoyed reading this book. I bought it because I was looking for a recipe of chow-chow, something my Grandmother used to make. There are great bits and pieces of information and wonderful recipes. I want to buy more of her books.
Lost Recipes March 21, 2006 2 out of 3 found this review helpful
This is a good read. The critics who talk about the recipes not really being lost miss the premise of the book. What Marion Cunningham is telling us is that these old family-style recipes aren't in use much anymore, because only 30%-40% of people cook at home these days. Mrs. Cunningham was a food maven in the San Francisco Bay Area for years, and I always enjoyed her column in the San Francisco Chronicle for her wit and common sense approach. Alas, I heard from her daughter, Catherine, that Marion (in her 80s now) is failing. This is probably her last book.
