This review is from: The Madison County Cookbook: Homespun Recipes, Family Traditions, & Recollections from Winterset, Iowa-The Heart of Madison County (Hardcover)

This cookbook was a Christmas gift from my best friend. She had bought it and knew that I would love it, too. These recipes are so simple to make with ingredients that you have in your pantry or refrigerator now. Lots of dishes you have always wanted to be able to prepare for your family and friends. Plus lovely Holiday memories.

I found this cookbook to be a wonderful addition to my cookbook library. With its downhome recipes that include ingredients that you usually have on hand, it is a joy to use. The illustrations that are included give the book a folksy feeling. The short stories give us an insight into true family life. This cookbook is a must for anyone who likes to cook for the family. They are sure to enjoy the results!

My daughter gave me this book & I in turn am buying it for 2 sister in laws...It is that good. The homespun stories in it are just as good as the recipes it has. I have done numerous recipes from this book & they have all been great!! My only problem with this book is I get sidetracked reading the stories...
