Church Suppers: 722 Favorite Recipes from Our Church Communities [Spiral-bound]

Barbara Greenman (Editor)

Book Description

Publication Date: May 15, 2005

Church Suppers celebrates gatherings of neighbors, family, and friends with delicious, down-home recipes from all over the United States and Canada. These are the dishes we remember and cherish, that bring us back to a simpler time: Fiesta Dip, Red Flannel Hash, Sloppy Joe Turnovers, Green Bean Casserole, Earthquake Cake, Blueberry Buckle...plus many regional and ethnic foods: Moussaka, Jambalaya, Chiles Relleños, Babka, Cannoli, and more. And because the recipes come from real people with bustling families, busy work schedules, imperfect kitchens, and realistic budgets, they are easy to prepare and focus as much on simplicity as they do on taste.

Full of local flavor and rounded out with line drawings and anecdotes about the contributing churches, Church Suppers is a delightful addition to any home kitchen.

I do not normally write reviews but I really appreciate the reviews I read on other cookbooks. I collect cookbooks and cook for a hobby and for a living. This cookbook is wonderful. I have spent over 20 yrs trying to find the "perfect" coleslaw recipe. The Memphis coleslaw is absolutely wonderful. I also love the pasta salad recipe... and the long searched for strawberry pretzel dessert. This is the first cookbook that I check if I want to make something. If there is an old recipe that you are looking for, you will probably find it in this book.. and it will be delicious!

I've never been more pleased! This collection of church recipes is HUGE! The cookbook itself is larger than 8.5x11, and the recipes are the "tried and true" kind that are getting harder to locate in this day and age. If you're looking for great recipes look no further...this is the cookbook for you...and the best part is the price!
