Great recipes, even better stories!
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 14 years ago
This is so much more than a cookbook! It's a snapshot of life in Texas in the '60s, and even includes stories from years prior when Mary Koock was a girl. Mrs. Koock wrote about some people as if the reader should automatically know who they all were, but even if you don't, it gives the book a familiar feel, as if the author is taking you into her confidence and sharing these anecdotes with you as she would with a friend. Her writing is dynamic, and I actually laughed out loud several times while reading the book. To be honest, I haven't actually made any of the recipes yet, but I have no doubt they'll turn out wonderfully. Even if they didn't, I would still love this book.
A wonderful collection of recipes and anecdotal stories
