xi 324 pages indexed. An immaculate copy. "As Americans rediscover their connection to food, some of our most treasured family recipes are making their way back to the table. These are not recipes that you can find in any standard cookbook. These recipes have been passed down from generation to generation, picking up the unique touch of each family member that has made them. Traditionally, these recipes are hard to come by. Only the most trusted friends and relatives are privy to them. To find these treasured morsels, The Church Supper Cookbook went straight to the local legends of community cooking: America's small-town cooks. We asked nicely (pleaded in some cases!) and were graced with the good fortune of more than 375 delicious, time-honored dishes from our country's best cooks. Includes : Family-size recipes that serve 6 to 8 people; Useful table of cooking equivalents; Recipes to feed a crowd of 15 or 100; Ingenious cooking shortcuts; Perfect potluck dishes; Over 150 cakes, cookies, pies, and puddings" (publisher)
