More than a cookbook, this is family and home upkeep according to Pearl Bailey. Funny and interesting.

She was a friend of our family and I loved her!

I listened to the audio format of this recipe book a. It was definitely fun to listen to. Pro herself reads the book and even stops to tell you that she's drinking coffee while reading it. She is such a down-to-earth lady and has such amazing recipes and so simple. She gives you so much good advice for being yourself in the kitchen and also putting love into your dishes.

This is a book of philosophy masquerading as a cookbook in the best possible way...

A book sale find....a definite jewel of a find! This is not a normal cookbook.... I'd say it's kitchen life and love by Pearl. And it makes sense...everybody winds up in the kitchen!

This was so enjoyable I need to read her other books.
