Title: Recipes like your mom used to make . . .
Review: . . . if your mom cooked for you in the '50 and '60s, as mine did. These recipes (and the cookbook format itself) all seem to be from another era, when we didn't worry about fat and were happy with fairly bland food.I had never heard of Paula Deen; I received the cookbook as a gift. I'll be donating or selling it somewhere -- I've just spent half an hour browsing it, and honestly have not found a single recipe I'd want to try. Many sound just like recipes from the Junior League cookbooks that I've owned for 25 years.If you want to try some "old-fashioned home cookin'," this may have some recipes you'll like. But if you've developed any kind of sophisticated tastes, I don't think this is a cookbook you'd enjoy.
Is the review positive or negative?
