Getting to know food all over again!!!

This magnificent book is a peek into comfort food that is also a family treasure.I have tried the buttermilk pie and oatmeal cookies with excellent results and look forward to trying them all. The recipes are not usually found where I live so my friends are blown away by some of the flavors, eg the buttermilk pie!

The Most Unique Cookbook I've Ever Owned

I own a lot a cookbooks and have even written one of my own, but I have never seen anything quite like Sweets. The family stories were so captivating I could not quite reading them. What a truely unique and beautiful family Ms. Pinner is blessed with. In addition to the book being absolutely charming, the recipes are good too! I'm going to give a copy to my best friend for her birthday nex month.
