Keepsake Recipes and Fascinating Food Facts

Rating:
Summary: From the workshop to the kitchen
Review: With a few chosen food facts, and a very concise manual of recipes, I'm finding the same pleasure in the kitchen that I used to find in the garage. I'm enjoying the craft of cooking as I would contruction. This book spells it out clearly and concisely, and got me startd in the kitchen. A few new tools, but an easy transition. It's easy to start cooking when you get some help understanding the basics, and are provided with some practical, time honored recipes. I don't even have to learn French. It could be labeled "Cooking for Dummies", or "If I had only knew these things sooner, I would have started cooking years ago".

Summary: From the author's major taste tester
Review: Would you believe a never-fail pie crust? It's true. I have made at least 25 pie crusts using Mother's recipe. Never a failure. Well, so I am the author's daughter. Whether you are just starting out or have been cooking a long time, you will find this a delightful source of recipes to try out and experiment with yourself. Mother believes in the cook adding him or her self to the process. The tidbits of information are fascinating. It is a fun book to read. I think you will agree that the book is appropriately titled.
