This is a cookbook I use a lot despite the old-fashioned tradition of the recipes. Wish it had pictures...but it does have favorite recipes from all over New England with interesting personal vignettes compiled by the author.

An older cookbook with recipes that make my mouth water and my cholesterol and wallet cringe. I "NEED" a beach house!

Best venison chili recipe I know. Okay, if you don't like venison use stew meat. Still awesome.

A wide variety of recipes, but most of them seem dated in terms of how we eat now. Many reminded me of cooking circa 1950-60.

My book, Wednesday's Child, is quoted in this book.

It was fascinating to see how closely tied to this region I am, as all my family recipes and things I ate growing up were in here, even though I was born on the West Coast. I still have yellowed handwritten recipe cards of my grandmother's for so many of these dishes, like the stuffed cabbage, greek cookies, pickles and many of the apple desserts. It made me very homesick for a place I grew up visiting often but never lived in. There are barely any photos, but it's an excellent resource with tons of recipes, and the author worked for Martha Stewart, so points for that. I'd love to find a copy of this just for nostalgia's sake.
