This yellow 'Calling All Cooks' cookbook is wonderful. My sister gave it to me for my birthday several years ago. Now I am trying to buy the set of 4 for each of my daughters. If they have these they are all they will ever need!!!Calling All Cooks

These books have ingredients that you use on a daily basis, not the kind that you have to go out and buy for one recipe and then never use it again. These are just some good ol' recipes from some Southern women that REALLY KNOW HOW TO COOK!!! And there are great dishes of all kinds in each book. If you are considering buying them...you better be quick, because I think whatever few that are left will be all there is!

I carry different dishes to church when meet and then eat and I have someone always wanting the recipe. You will be glad you bought one when you get it and see all the yummy recipes that are in it!!

This and my own handwritten cookbook of family recipes are my two favorite cookbooks. If you've ever eaten something wonderful in the South, the recipe is probably in this book. Almost everyone in my family has this book, so instead of recipes we trade page numbers. This is the best cookbook ever. It's not hoity-toity lowfat, gourmet food with hard to find ingredients. It's just plain old-fashioned food. Lots of casserole recipes and plenty of desserts.

If you are looking for a cookbook with old fashioned, time-tested, basic recipes, then look no further. This book is full of recipes handed down from generation to generation. All ingredients are readily available in your neighborhood grocery store with no need for a run to the gourmet or specialty shop.

By purchasing this book, you are also supporting a very worthwhile organization. The Telephone Pioneers of America have been the main volunteer services group within the various companies of the former Bell System for over 125 years. The Pioneers constantly give of their volunteer hours in their local communities helping those in need. I am proud to be a Pioneer and also proud to have worked on the cookbook committee that brought you this book.

I hope you enjoy it!
