We’ve reviewed lots of cookbooks. Here are the recipes we’ve made from the ones we have liked the best. Ready, get set, cook!
It’s easy to see why your grandmother loved it. I don’t know much about lard. My guess is not many people are experts in the field. I don’t remember my Mom ever cooking with it and have no recollections of a jar or carton sitting in our fridge or pantry. I do know one [...]

Can something be both a wonder and wonderful? Consider the egg. Here’s a question for you. How many eggs do you think this country produces each year? Think big. No, bigger. Bigger still… You’re not even close. So, I’ll tell you. 75 billion, yes billion! That translates to 241 eggs per year for every man, [...]

Poitrine, bringa, bryststykke. No matter how you say it, it’s still a brisket. WARNING: This book is not suitable for vegetarians, vegans or herbivores of any stripe. However, if you love slow cooked, tender and delicious meat, grab a plate and get your fork! It’s a cut of meat that slices across ethnic and cultural [...]

There is nothing wrong with simple AND delicious. The community cookbook. All of us have somewhere between two and two hundred of those plastic ring bound gems in our cookbook collections. They’re all little different. But, at the same time they’re all a little similar. The Three Rivers Cookbook I fits the mold perfectly. [...]

There is no better time than now to start making some great food memories. Childhood memories. If you were ever a child, and, I’m assuming you were, then you have them. A smell, a taste or a sound, immediately drags you back to a different time in your life. There’s nothing you can do [...]

The difference between dull and dazzling can be a pretty fine line. I’ve published my own book. It’s hard. There’s a BIG difference between something being “not easy” and something being “hard”. Self publishing is the latter. The book I published wasn’t a cookbook. It wasn’t a tell all novel or a how to [...]
