Customer Reviews

a delightful read

This book is such fun to read--whether you are inclined to cook anything or not. Jane Watson Hopping is a charming writer with a wonderful sense of family and family history. The recipes are a joy to read along with her descriptions/intros. A wholehearted recommendation.

More than a cookbook

This cookbook is packed full of old fashioned recipes like what you might find tucked away in your grandmother's cupboard. Every one that I make is such a treat. I would buy this cookbook for the Old Fashioned Hermits recipe alone. Mrs. Hopping does more than just provide recipes. The stories of traditions and days gone by combined with poems makes this cookbook a joy to read even when you are not cooking.
