The Settlement Cookbook

Summary: It's a resource as well as a cookbook!!!!!!!!!
Review: I have used this cookbook and worn the hard cover right off of it. As a resource book it is invalueable, it always has what's missing in other cookbooks such as substitutions, measurements,herb charts, cooking times and on and on. I have gone from meat-eater to vegetarian and this is still my favorite cook book. I am always being asked for the recipes I use from it. I would be lost without it.

Summary: The Settlement Cook Book Treasured Recipes of Seven Decades
Review: This is a great cook book!! It has everything for the beginner to the experienced cook. It has old recipes, canning recipes, canning time tables, tables of measurement even planning for dinner parties. My copy was printed in 1976 and I would not trade it for anything. I have been cooking for 30 years and every cook book I have purchased does not come close to this one.

Summary: Turn of the century kitchen wisdom in todays food processor.
Review: This is not only good eating, but also good reading. Excellent blend of hardy, robust, old-fashioned dishes and simple receipes for todays demanding lifestyles. Receipies are cross indexed thoroughly. Catagories also cover freezing, canning, pickling, and health concerns.

You may never need to make a bar of soap, or pasteurize milk in your own kitchen, but you will gain an appreciation of todays modern conveniences.

To me, this book has reminiscent as well as nutritional value. You see...this is how I remember Grand-ma cooking. Can't you smell...snf,..snf...the fresh baked bread and potato soup cookin' on the old wood stove. Um..Um..!
