I loved the history attached to food and individuals. I purchased for my grandson and two others - they were excited to receive the book.

I have made several of the dishes that my family enjoyed and I liked the personal comments by folks sharing their experiences and observations.

Cook several dishes so and they were delicious. Love the recipes

Great recipes.

Love, love this book. The recipes remind me of childhood.
