This review is from: Honest to Goodness: Honestly Good Food from Mr. Lincoln's Hometown (Hardcover)

I am a Springfield, Illinois native and can tell you that these recipes are well known in the Springfield area. The recipes in this book are very very good.

Some of my favorites include.....Lemon Shake-Ups as seen at the Illinois State Fair, Steak Diane as served at Baur's On the Green, Funnel Cakes And the all time Springfield favorite... HORSESHOES... if you don't know what this is I urge you to buy the book for that recipe alone! You will love it!

5.0 out of 5 stars My favorite cook book ever, April 23, 2007

This review is from: Honest to Goodness: Honestly Good Food from Mr. Lincoln's Hometown (Hardcover)

I was given this book years ago as a gift when moving away from IL. I have well over 40 cookbooks in my collection. This one is, by far, my favorite. All recipes are easy to prepare and each one has been a hit in our home. I LOVE this cookbook. In the past, I have purchased cookbooks by favorite cooks, only to be disappointed to find many recipes are out of the ordinary fare, which have gone over like a lead balloon with my children. I have yet to prepare something from this book, which my children won't eat. It is a true representation of midwestern favorite foods. The potato soup recipe is a favorite at out house.

This is the best cookbook in my collection. I am from Springfield and every recipe is a hit! There are many casserole type dishes that are wonderful and great for a busy Mom to prepare. This is a must for any busy Mom wanting to make great meals for their family!
