Summary: Jello, macaroni and cheese, my kind of food!
Review: My mother made all the recipes in this graphically appealing book.
It may be why I never learned to cook but then again, I loved reading the stories of food memories, fragrances and childhood moments. Have you noticed this is now fashionably called "comfort food"...well it always was that, it's just taken the chefs of the world to catch-on. As a mid-westerner, I'm thoroughly enjoying this classic book. I can smell my Mom's homemade bread as we speak.

Summary: childhood revisited
Review: This book took me way back to my childhood and teen years. I got a warm feeling reading the stories and I could relate to many of them. I can smell the aroma of those wonderful dishes even today.

Summary: Add this to your cookbook collection!
Review: This neat little cookbook is a must-buy. My mother's been gone for thirty-six years, but not a day goes by that I don't think of all the wonderful things she used to do for me, not the least of which was her marvelous cooking. Authors Udell and Cutler have assembled a collection of the kind of mouth watering, home-concocted recipes that were characteristic of our mothers' generation. Wait till you try mother Jesse Johnson's recipe for Wild Rice Casserole!
