Two Sisters' Cookbook: The Not-So-Natural Eating Evolution of Two Baby Boomers

by Jill Chandler, Laurie Harrison

Take a journey back in time with a cookbook that reflects the capricious eating habits of a generation. Baby boomers everywhere will recognize themselves in the lively pages of this book through the reintroduction of the comforting and familiar foods of childhood and the short, whimsical family sketches and pictures. With the novel use of icons to designate eras and food trends, Two Sisters' Cookbook takes you through 278 recipes ranging from the hearty homespun meals of the 50's to the healthier, more sophisticated gourmet kitchens of the present. In addition to the recipes, menu suggestions, cooking terms and conversion charts, Two Sisters' Cookbook is loaded with informative, sometimes nostalgic and often humorous sidebars. For convenience and ease of use, it is coil-bound so that it lies open and flat on the counter. The cover is laminated and wipes clean easily. Although it derives much of its appeal from the broad selection of delicious foods, it's written in an engaging style with easy-to-follow recipe instructions. This eclectic little cookbook, containing a broad variety of excellent recipes, boasts a special chapter on Comfort Foods for eaters who long to revisit the past. Those who favor more recent food trends won't be disappointed either; the selection of gourmet appetizers, brunch foods, entrees, salads and desserts provide a true feast for the palate. At no additional cost, a companion web site is available for Two Sisters' Cookbook to provide current and prospective book owners with color pictures of completed recipes.
