Granny's Delicious Dinner Recipes: From My Kitchen To Your Table Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I thought the cover looked very attractive and interesting, and I had read a review about this author.
She is a Southern Kentucky woman who married a Jersey Italian man. They have been happily eating together for 35 years is how she puts it.
After their visits to Italy, she had learned many Italian dishes first hand and experimented with them in her tiny kitchen, as she describes it.
There is even a lovely poem which she has about her tiny kitchen. Very lovely!
Each recipe is preceded by a beautiful color photograph of the prepared dish. What a great thing for a cookbook to have.
The recipes are very well written and the directions are easy to follow, best of all the ingredients are readily available from any grocery store.
I have tried many of the 40 recipes which are in this book.
I would highly recommend this book to anyone who loves either of these American Southern or Italian foods.
A perfect gift for newlyweds and anyone interested in cooking up full bodied wholesome meals!

A Southern Kentucky girl married a Jersey Italian guy and they have been happily eating together for 35 years.Within this cookbook, I have compiled forty of our best and most favorite Southern and Italian recipes.All of my recipes are preceded by a full color photograph of the prepared dish. Fortunately for my husband, after photographing each meal, it was served for dinner that evening.As he told me upon completion of the editing and ultimately the publishing, in his own words, it was "the best book I have ever eaten".

Hotel Del Coronado Cookbook, The Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I like this cookbook for the historical element it portrays. Unlike ordinary cookbooks which simply apply ingredients to an equation, this cookbook allows you to learn several aspects of the Hotel del Coronado's history. From the early years to the most recent recipe, you get a glimpse of the lifestyles and current affairs of each era. Not only entertaining, but recipes that can still be used today in charming to elegant parties. Author Beverly Bass's sophistication spans throughout this book in a way that only she can. I often use this book when preparing traditional, yet fine dined dinner parties.
