Farm Journal's Country Cookbook

Rating:
Summary: Absolutely Delicious
Review: About 15 years ago, I moved into an old house and one of the things left there, was this old cookbook on a kitchen shelf. The book was falling apart, but newly married I figured I'd try some recipes. They were simple directions to follow, and the meals were delicious. It has many recipes that I couldn't find in any other cookbook since. I am now buying the book again (so that it's in one piece) and I am so happy to find it still in print. It is the best cookbook ever!

Summary: Comfort Food
Review: I purchased this edition in 1972 and used it until the pages stuck together and the binding disintegrated. This is the ultimate in comfort food cookery.

I will be purchasing two more for my kids.

Review: I use this cookbook and get raves for the recipes I cook. I've never used a recipe that wasn't absolutely delicious. The recipes in this book are also adaptable to your own recipes. Maine Chicken Pie is a wonderful recipe that I adapted by adding potatoes and frozen vegies. Now instead of one pie I get two, one to eat and one to share. If you haven't tried this one, now is the best time. I ordered the hardback through Amazon.com as an out of print book. Happy Cooking!

Review: My parents and I would drive across the midwest to visit relatives in S.Dakota. We'd try to pick out farms that would be candidates for the Farm Journal Publication. It would have to be a well kept and nice looking farm, no ordinary farm would do. Same with this cookbook. Great recipes, even cooking for crowds! It is my personal favorite and I own over 80 cookbooks and even compiled a 200+ page cookbook for our Kopke Family Reunion in 1996. WORTH EVERY DIME!

Review: This cookbook has been a standard in our family since it first came out in hard cover in 1959. The recipes have easy-to-find ingredients. Some recipes are difficult to fix or are time consuming to prepare. The directions are easy to follow. The recipes are all good. Most recipes have a comment about taste, flavors, serving suggestions, etc. (i.e., Orange-Carrot Cookies--"Cheerful as a Kansas sunflower--kind to the budget"). This cookbook does not show calorie counts, food equivalents, etc. However, it is a book full of "comfort food"--the kind of food we remember our mothers and grandmothers making.
