Review
In At the Hearth: Early American Recipes, Mary Sue Latini shares her recipes passed on from generation to generation, her family having been pioneers in Arkansas. Every recipe contains instructions for preparation over the old-fashioned hearth as well as in the modern kitchen. Her delectable seafood recipes include Deviled Crab and Colonist's Oyster Pye. Herb-Braised Leg of Lamb with Vegetables will become an all-time favorite. Fresh Snap Beans with Bacon will be a welcome addition to any meal. Mouthwatering desserts feature Tipsy Parson Trifle, Summer Fruit Cobbler, and Pumpkin Pudding. Latini's Buttermilk Biscuits and Southern Spoon Bread are as delicious as they are classic. At the Hearth is a wonderful addition to any culinary bookshelf. -- Midwest Book Review
