4.0 out of 5 stars Hot dishes, Lutefisk, and Lefse, June 14, 2000

By	Tim Drake "Author and Journalist" (Saint Joseph, Minnesota) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Yep. Yah. Sure. You betcha. 'Dis cookbooks got 'em all.

Minnesota stereotypes aside, this is a fine cookbook filled with many, many practical and tasty dishes that the average American family will enjoy.

It features a lot of hot dishes (casseroles), meat and potatoes, brunch dishes, and some Minnesota favorites.

The book itself is nothing great to look at. It does feature a few black and white photographs of Minnesota sights and scenery, but contains no photographs of the food items.

The book is broken down into useful sections to help the cook quickly find whatever he or she is looking for.
