Sun, Sand and Sausage Pie: And Beach House Memories [Hardcover]

Sally Holbrook (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: March 1992

This is a charming and nostalgic cookbook where childhood memories of week ends and vacations at the family beach house are blended with over 100 family favorite recipes gathered from three generations of expert cooks. Brimming with helpful culinary tips, these easy-to-follow recipes will allow any cook, from novice to experienced, to create simple but elegant dishes or entire meals with confidence and ease. Sun, Sand and Sausage Pie is sprinkled with period photographs of seashore living in the 1930s/1940s and is artfully decorated with hand painted page borders and chapter titles. Dressed in a brightly water colored dust jacket, this cloth hardcovered book conceals a spiral binding which allows the pages to lie flat when the book is open. This is a cookbook that is as well received on the coffee table as it is in the kitchen!

Review

Appleton, Wisconsin Bulletin: While many cookbooks on the market today are repetitive and dull, Sun, Sand and Sausage Pie by Sally Holbrook is an absolute gem. Hicksburg, Mississippi Evening Post: Sally Holbrook knows what to do: beach days are perfect days for food and fun with friends and family. And she makes it all come together with reminiscences, photos from the past, and some of the best-sounding recipes I've come across in a long while. Worland, Wyoming Daily News: The recipes are wonderful; most ingredients that we can easily come by, easy to make and with a distinct old family recipe about them. Dublin, Georgia Courier Herald: To begin with, the cookbook wins you over with a neat spiral binding within the hardback cover, enabling the book to lie flat when you are reading a recipe and cooking at the same time. Washington, North Carolina Daily News: This is one cookbook you will want to proudly display in your kitchen, not hide away in the cupboard. Steuben, Maine Cookbook Lagniappe: The dishes in this lovingly and handsomely assembled collection of family favorites have individual appeal, they work best as an ensemble. -- Appleton, Wisconsin Bulletin

I was going through your first cookbook (Sun, Sand and Sausage Pie) for recipes this weekend and read, again, some of your memories of family "fun" times of your childhood.

I enjoyed reading it so much. It brought back memories of my own summer childhood memories and I was taken by the sweet simplicity of it all, compared to today's life styles.

Thank you for doing the book. Its a treasure I'm glad to have. -- Reader letter
