I tried one of the recipes for shrimp creole which was not too bad. <br />If you click on the Etsy sellers links and go to their "shop" you might be able to see some of the recipes - I didn't really look at the recipes, I was mostly interested in the covers. <br />I can't stand Paula or Rachel either. Who's the guy with the shades - I can't think who that is. <br />My favorite is the barefoot contessa - except that she laughs too hard and too much. But her recipes are always interesting.North County Film Clubhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13683794164957833415noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3070420212032798639.post-18536076318166222202010-07-29T13:22:08.580-07:002010-07-29T13:22:08.580-07:00My mother had a curious assortment of cook books. ...My mother had a curious assortment of cook books. Her most pedestrian was the Better Homes & Gardens Cook Book with a plaid cover. She had the requisite Betty Crocker Cook Book too. She had an entire series by some publisher...the kind that published one called "Casseroles", another "Cakes", another "Meats" etc. Can't remember who put those out but could have been Family Circle or similar. Her favorite for a time was Dinah Shore's Cookbook, "Someone's in the Kitchen With Dinah". It was, by today's standards, kinda tacky. Alot of recipes with Campbell soup although Dinah was known to be a very fine cook and hostess. Of course, nobody was sweatin' it like some of these hams on tv nowadays...Paula Deen (she makes me ill) or <br />Rachel Ray or the guy who wears his shades on the back of his head and talks too loud.<br /><br />The Metropolitan Cook Book you picture is really a fabulous cover; totally works today. How're the recipes?California Girlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12582691517303132274noreply@blogger.com
