My Wife's Favorite Cookbook --- And She Has 500 Of 'Em!

This beautiful book -- from cover to cover including the dustjacket you see above-- is for and about people like you and me, and Aunt Marie who can cook and bake just a wee bit better than anyone else, of course. As you're perusing the wonderful recipes and stories, if you're lucky you'll meet Lem (is he really Jack Daniel?) or Pat or Lynne (those beauties on the dj) you'll never forget them. Heck, make trip to Lynchburg AND you'll really meet the warmest, most friendly folk since you were a kid in kneepants (or buttons and bows). Don't know who runs the office where this book was born (and no one will admit to it so if everyone's just "cog in the wheel" --- what a smooth-running and happy machine!). This latest and an earlier volume (call it One, this one Two) are both keepsakes, and a good cook's chance to "break out of the mold." Yes, there are some Social Drinks in there like Rolman's Year-Round Toddy that keeps him young and fit, and the Hollidays' La Creme Damage, which takes a sippin' whiskey to a smooth milkshake. OK, OK, Cakes, Casseroles, dishes for those down-home get-togethers...at Christmas, Special Birthdays, Family Reunions, close-knit neighborhoods just making their own weekend retreat while the ballots are being counted. Hearth and Home, Oh My! Did I mention Pat Mitchamore's "A Tennessee Legend," all about Bottles and Jugs? That's one of my favorites, too.

Other uses for "Old #7"

I received this wonderful cookbook as a present. (Thanks Sandy!) It has many excellent recipes containing my beverage of choice ;-) as well as other "down home" and family keepsake recipes gathered from the citizens of Lynchburg, TN. (For the uninitiated, this Divine Nectar is distilled there - in a "dry" county!) There are luscious photographs of the food and a travelogue for Lynchburg. Thoroughly enjoyable!
