Wow. This is a great book. I am trying to take one cookbook and try new recipes, and the first one I have tried is the Pork Chop Casserole on Page 76. My husband loves mushrooms, not my favorite, but I tried it anyway. Oh my gosh, you need to try this recipes. The pork chops are layered on top of the potatoes, and then you make a mushroom cream sauce and cover it and cook it. And I can't tell you how good this is, because there are no words. I don't even like mushrooms that much, and I even liked it. --dcscake

I preordered this because of a great newspaper review-and the paper was right!! Normally, I'll just skim through a new cookbook, but with this one I started reading through the recipes right away. The pork chops and potato recipe is the first one I'm going to try. Or maybe the ckicken and dumpling recipe---FINALLY found a a hand rolled dumpling recipe that sounds like what my husband's granny used to make. There is an unusual squirrel recipe that I know I'll NEVER try, especially since the day my husband brought home squirrels and put them in the freezer with the eyes staring out at me, just no, no way. But I will definitely try Aunt Fanny's Buttermilk Pie recipe and compare it to the recipe I use after experimenting with innumerable recipes in search of the best taste. Chicken pot pie that sounds exactly like a recipe another of my husband's relatives made, group meals, oh, I'm going to be cooking up a storm with this one. I like how she tells you what brand of a product she uses in a recipe, and gives great directions. A lot of the recipes don't require you to go out and restock your pantry or buy exotic ingredients you'll never use again, which I really appreciate. I may even try my hand at bread and rolls again. Great addition to my cookbook library. --TXsun

Love this book. I bought it months ago and have made at least 12 recipes from it and been very pleased with them all. Can't wait for Franchise's next book! --Karen 505
