Homecooking Never Tasted So Good

I have read Dawn Janov's latest cook book: "Cooking With Memories in Georgetown" and thoroughly enjoyed it. Her pictures and stories are excellent and they all tie in with the recipes. Dawn has a delightful selection of recipes from different walks of life. The recipes are easy to prepare and a delight to serve, as my family have found out. I plan on giving this book for Christmas gifts. I highly recommend it. It is a beautiful book. Marcia Stout

A friend in the kitchen

Cooking With Memories is not just a book of recipes. It's more like being in the kitchen with a friend. Helpful hints, great ideas, and fun and lively conversations. This book should not be put away, but left out for friends and visitors to discover. In addition to easy, tasty recipes, from her granddaughters favorite chocolate chip cookies to sophisticated meals for entertaining, the stories of life in a small Colorado mountain community will keep you entertained from the moment the book arrives. Anecdotes from Dawn's life, her family and friends, add a special personal touch to this book. A wonderful read. A must have for the kitchen.

A REAL TREAT! And a very special Tribute to Georgetown, CO.

The author Dawn Janov has written a superb literary testament to the people and memories of a very special place, nestled in the Rocky Mountains, Historical Georgetown, Colorado. As a Colorado native I grew up in Georgetown and had the privilege of experiencing all that makes Georgetown unique. From the hilarious characters that have resided in Georgetown, generation after generation, to the festive celebrations that seemed to wisk you back through time, to the amazing charm of the Victorian architecture and splendid beauty. Ms. Janov has captured the TRUE essence of this rare and valuable little jewel, Georgetown. The recipes throughout her cookbook are wonderful as well. Ms Janov's insightfulness, exciting use of ingredients, and creative, gourmet knowledge resonate throughout this beautifully written book. I personally want to thank Dawn for undertaking and completing this testiment to Georgetown, and I would recommend this cookbook to anyone who enjoys creating delicious and exciting dishes that are sure to please. EXCELLENT!

It's a gem . . . much more than a cookbook!

This little book is a delightful surprise! It is one to be owned and browsed many times. From the title one might think that it is a cookbook; but it is much more than that. The author, Dawn Janov, has woven a literary tapestry using human-interest stories from by-gone days, bits and pieces of life in a small town in Colorado, tidbits of memorabilia from around the world, and lots of wonderful recipes that include origins, hints and advice. This is not a book to be put on a kitchen shelf with cookbooks. It is a lovely, enticing book for the coffee table where it can be read and enjoyed a few pages at a time; although, I find it compelling reading each time I pick it up. Another surprise: my husband, who has never been seen with a cookbook in his hand, grabbed this one when it arrived in the mail and spent a couple hours perusing the stories and recollections. The appeal for this book is broad and I recommend it for your home.
