More than a cookbook
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 19 years ago
This cookbook is packed full of old fashioned recipes like what you might find tucked away in your grandmother's cupboard. Every one that I make is such a treat. I would buy this cookbook for the Old Fashioned Hermits recipe alone. Mrs. Hopping does more than just provide recipes. The stories of traditions and days gone by combined with poems makes this cookbook a joy to read even when you are not cooking.
