 Back to the table April 4, 2002
12 out of 12 found this review helpful
I disagree with some of the other reviews that said that this book does not contain "family friendly" and "easy" recipe. Art's recipes for Smothered Chicken and Red Beans & Rice have fast become my family's favorite foods, and they are very easy to make. I love this cookbook and would recommend it to others who are looking for some simple, homestyle recipes for their families.
 Not for the average family February 23, 2002

Most people don't have the time and patience to make most of the recipes in this book. Although I applaud the message, this book just doesn't help the average American family accomplish what the book sets out to do.
 Not quite what I expected January 8, 2002

At first glance the book was great. It's a feel good book that carries a good message. However, I found that the recipes were not for everyday cooks. Many of the recipes called for special ingredients that are not available at regular grocery stores. The author does provide sources for mail order but doesn't offer alternate ingredients. I found the same to be true with the appliances and cookware the author says to use. Not everyone has a Kitchen-aid or cast iron skillets, again, no alternate methods were given.

Art Smiths' book is full of wholesome family recipes we can all understand. No wonder Oprah likes him! We can all relate to his testimonials about childhood memories around the table. We need to take a lesson about not being so busy we forget to set at the table with our families.
The recipes are easy to understand and Ohhhh Soooo Good.
A Beautiful Book December 6, 2001

Art Smith's book is so beautiful to look at and reads like a book. When I got it in the mail, I sat down and read the whole thing. I've only tried one muffin recipe so far, but it was delicous and I'm looking forward to trying new recipes.
