"You won't be disappointed with any of the cookbooks from QRP, I've certainly enjoyed mine and will continue to..." -- Jeanette Wright, Borger News-Herald

Product Description

"Oklahoma is the heart, it's the vital organ of our national existence," Will Rogers bragged about his native state in 1926. It's still true that what is best about America can be found in Oklahoma...and that certainly holds true for its food.

Fifty-nine of the leading cookbooks from the Sooner State have been selected to contribut their most popular recipes to create this remarkable collection. From chuckwagon breakfasts on historic pioneer wagon trails to classic diner meals on the "Mother Road," Route 66, Best of the Best from Oklahoma has gathered together a selection of recipes that captures the culinary heritage of the state. Good-old home cooking such as (Mickey) Mantle's Chicken Fried Steak, Cowboy Potato and Vegetable Bake, Philbrook's Italian Cream Cake, and Tortilla Wagon Wheels are just a sampling of the 400 or so recipes included in these pages. They're not just OK—they're the BEST!

Best of the Best from Oklahoma is one of thirty volumes in Quail Ridge Press' acclaimed Best of the Best State Cookbook Series—continuing the tradition of preserving America's Food Heritage.

Selected Recipes from Oklahoma's Favorite Cookbooks.

When the editors titled this `the best of the best' they weren't kidding. They have taken some of the best recipes from other Oklahoma cookbooks and combined them. The result is this wonderful cookbook full of easy, delicious ideas!

Although I enjoyed the Native American pictures and the drawings (they are beautiful to look at), I have to say my eyes had to first take in all the recipes, yum-yum. We have the usual contents from Appetizers to Desserts. The variety of recipes is wide; they are not focused on only what's considered Oklahoma cuisine. You will find a recipe for Clam Chowder right along with one for Rabbit Stir-Fry (haven't tried that one, I prefer petting them to eat them).

I promise you it doesn't matter where you live, you will enjoy trying the best recipes in Oklahoma. Brenda @ MyShelf.com
