To be honest, this cookbook didn't turn out to be exactly what I thought it would be, but I am happy with the purchase. I was surfing around looking for an old cookbook my grandmother used years ago and found this. I'm always looking for authentic "old school" recipes and I thought this book would offer that. Truthfully, the recipes are more what I would call upscale takes on old classics, but that is not a bad thing. What makes the book unique is: One, it tells the history of the restaurant and the original owner (Hattie), and two, the VERY informative material and instructions for the ingredients and the method for each recipe. It's a small lesson in cooking technique and history for each dish. And there are definitely some recipes in it I intend to try. A nice addition to my cookbook library.-brbro
Great story with awesome recipes inside! Bought it as gift and it arrived with the binding smash in on the ends. No fault of the book, just the delivery!-Lv
Love the restaurant; love the cookbook. Thanks for fast shipment. A++++-G.R.C.S
