Summary: What A Tribute!
Review: The Country Gourmet is a legacy of family recipes and love for family. You'll not only find mouth-watering, easy-to-follow recipes, but you'll find that Margie Robertson-Toone is a connoisseur of life and love, and that her stories are as delectable as good country cooking. This is a great book for those who love to cook, and perhaps even greater for those who don't. The combination of family stories and luscious results of the reicpes will inspire you to try every dish and remember that for family, every effort is worthwhile. Margie's Mudd Hogg Pie is the favorite of my seven-year-old mud-hogging grandson who feels so special when I've baked a pie just for him--the fact that the recipe makes two is a special bonus for hubby and I. The Country Gourmet is a wonderful tribute to good country food, family love and especially to Mama--Iva Lou Robertson, whose love lives on the hearts of her family and in her stories in The Country Gourmet. Thanks, Margie, for sharing her with us.

Summary: unique compendium of interesting and informative recipes
Review: What have I done with my copy of this book? Unless I am mistaken this is the correct title, but it is no longer on my shelf. Has instructions for various breads and pizzas,what to do with an excess of basil, a middle eastern dinner, an Indian dinner (with several variations, koftas, raita, all yummy). Written by a couple (?) who moved to the mountains(?) of North Carolina (?)in the late seventies (?)and had to figure out how to achieve the ethnic tastes they had enjoyed in New York as well as fresh ways to use the bounteous local produce. Some of these have become my signature dishes. I cannot live without it and hope Amazon will find it for me or that I can track down the author. If you have this book, please contact me. I will pay to have it copied.
