The B.T.C. Old Fashioned Grocery Cookbook is absolutely
beautiful. I haven’t had the opportunity to prepare any of the recipes in the
book yet but there are a lot that I really want to try. This cookbook is
beautifully laid out with a lot of different recipes. It is also chocked full
of stories. I especially like the chicken story at the end it made me giggle. I’m
from the south so the recipes were familiar to me with some twists. I will say
that the recipes use a lot of spices but all are relatively easy to find at the
grocery store.
The book is also full of small town photographs that are
done very well. I’m a little bit of a photography nut so I really loved looking
at them. The section on soups is divided
in subsections based on seasons of the year when the vegetables will be fresh
and available. I can’t wait to try the fried pies that aren’t really fried but
oven baked. We always fry them in oil so this recipe looks a tad bit healthier
if you can call a fired pie healthy, haha. I wouldn’t say this book is a “healthy”
cookbook if that is what you are looking for but I believe if you love good
southern cooking you will love this cookbook. It would also make a nice gift
for a new cook going out on their own. The recipes are clear and easy to follow
and many include photos of what the final product should look like.
I received this book at no charge from bloggingforbooks.com
in exchange for an honest review. You can purchase this book here.
