Summary: Comfort Food and Classics
Review: Lari Robling has written one of the friendliest books around, and user-friendly as well. It is full of classic American home recipes, comfort food, really useable recipes. All those cooks who are weary of the pretentiousness of the glossy magazine presentations, and who want real food in real time are going to love this book. Lari writes as if she is talking to a friend, and she understands what we all have to do in the kitchen to feed our families, but she makes sure we have a good time, too. The stories about the recipes are priceless but this is a book for cooking from, too.

Summary: A Book "Too Good to be Forgotten"
Review: Lari Robling's book "Endangered Recipes, Too Good to be Forgotten," is a pleasurable mixture of food, folklore, stories, and cultural and family history. The recipes and narrative make you want to head for the kitchen and start pumping parents, grandparents, great-aunts and uncles for family dishes and food tales.
From vignettes on several recipe rescuers and "Kitchen Wisdom" tips, to a section on how to collect family recipes titled "Passing Down the Plate," this work has something for anyone who eats, loves, and yearns for a link to their past. All accompanied by a chatty, informative and intelligent narrative. Beautiful work!
