| In this day of calorie and carbohydrate- and fat-gram counting, many of us miss the soul-satisfying foods from our childhood, foods that were made from real ingredients and with love by our mothers and grandmothers. We can't give you back those family gatherings where every dish on the table was garnished with love, but this collection of recipes will help you remember. Old-Fashioned Recipes for Modern Cooks contains over 175 Southern and Southwestern dishes from the days before fat-free. You'll find buttermilk biscuits and gravy for breakfast, all the dishes for a holiday feast, other great breakfast, main course, and side dishes, pickles, relishes, jellies, beverages, and desserts to die for --cake recipes begin on page 29, pies (apple, pecan, key lime, pumpkin, blackberry, blueberry, and rhubarb to mention a few) on page 36, cookies on page 46, and other desserts on page 50. |
