I Keep Going Back to This One....

I'm constantly looking for quick and easy recipes which include fresh ingredients and every once in awhile an unusual flavor combination...and this one definately meets that need! From a traditional SUNDAY FAVORITE ROAST (which can be done in the oven or crockpot) to a BEER AND NUT GREEK BURGER (such a fabulous flavor) and my new favorite pasta dish TURKEY LASGNA WITH GOAT CHEESE & BASIL (absolutely awesome!) I keep coming back to this great collection of Mama's Best with a twist every once in a while. My 17-year-old daughter is using it just as much as me and together we are experiencing the "true joy of cooking" recipes that make sense, have everyday ingredients, with enough of a challenge to keep it intersting for the seasoned cook. This one is a true treasure trove!

All the best recipes in one book

I'm an amateur in the kitchen and I don't ever think I'll have the time/energy/money to reach foodie-gourmet-snob status. Nor do I want to. This book is full of pretty simple but DELICIOUS recipes. I've made the Turkey, Basil & Goat Cheese Lasagna, the Seafood Gumbo, Homemade Mac N Cheese, and the Bread Pudding with Whiskey Sauce, and all were EASY. Most called for ingredients that I already had in the fridge or pantry. I'm tickled that I've not only found a great resource for the kitchen, but Christmas gifts for my friends & fam too. :)

Love to cook Lisa! Carlisle, PA

A friend gave me this cookbook as a gift and I intend to do the same. I love the recipes and the sentiment expressed in the book title. There are so many simple and yet delicious recipes with great presentations. I highly recommend this book to anyone who loves to cook, whether it be the gourmet chef or someone who likes to keep it simple! You will be glad you added this cookbook to your collection!

Like a trip back to your Mama's kitchen

If you are looking for the perfect Christmas gift or if you just like to curl up in your favorite chair with a great cookbook, this is the one! Everything I have tried is delicious and easy to make! The recipes and the presentation will take you back in time to happy memories. You can almost smell the delicious aromas coming from your Mama's kitchen. This is a beautiful book you will want to add to your collection and you will want several to give for gifts!!

The Absolute Best Cookbook I Own!

I'll admit it; I'm a cookbook junkie and this is one of the best cookbooks I've ever invested in. It is a compilation of the favorite recipes from over 80 different regional cookbooks. You know, those cookbooks that community organizations put together with real tried and true recipes. You will love this cookbook! Try the Chicken Asiago with Hickory Smoked Bacon...it is to die for!
