Editorial Review: Product Description: Authors of Heirloom Baking and James Beard Award finalists Marilynn and Sheila Brass launched a whole new cookbook category with their "heirloom" baking recipes. Now they turn their culinary skills to the rest of the menu, presenting delicious, savory, and timeless heirloom dishes collected over decades and updated for the modern kitchen. Marilynn and Sheila Brass have spent a lifetime collecting handwritten "manuscript cookbooks" and "living recipes." Heirloom Cooking collects and skillfully updates 135 of the very best of these, which together represent nearly 100 years of the best-loved and most delicious dishes from all over North America. The oldest recipes date back to the late 1800s, and every decade and a wide variety of ethnicities are captured here. The book is divided into sections including Starters; Salads; Vegetables; Breads; Main Dishes including Lamb, Beef, Veal, Pork, Fish, Chicken, and Turkey; Vegetarian; and—of course—Dessert. As they did in Heirloom Baking, the Brass sisters include the wonderful stories behind the recipes, and once again, lush photography is provided by Andy Ryan. Average Rating:
 Rating:  - Another winner from the Brass SistersI really enjoyed reading "Heirloom Cooking With the Brass Sisters." In fact, I sat down and read it cover to cover. The stories of who they got the recipes from, or their memories of eating and preparing them is pure pleasure. And this isn't just an exercise in the history of food either, these are recipes you can cook and serve today. My only disappointment is that I wanted more! Rating: - Wonderful down-home cookbook - a pleasure for armchair chefs as well as real cooks!I've found that so many cookbooks try to impress us with their fancy methods, exotic ingredients, and interesting new ways. This cookbook is absolutely marvellous, because it doesn't try to be any of that - they focus on great, homestyle cooking that everyone in your family will actually want to eat! Dishes like Billionaire Macaroni and Cheese, Louella's Church Cauliflower, Auntie Rose's Vegetable Beef Soup, Deviled Ham and Cheese Strata, and Crispy Norwegian Potatoes had my partner ... Read More Rating:  - Gorgeous bookThe only real complaint I have about this cookbook is that there are not as many pictures as I feel there should be. When it comes to food, photography really is a must, especially in this era of food blogs. There are recipes I looked up from the Contents page, only to find that there was no accompanying photograph. That is kind of a bummer. However, if you can pick yourself up and dust yourself off long enough to look through the rest of the book, you'll find that the pictures that ... Read More Rating: - Cooking is the Way We Show Our Love for OthersHeirloom cooking is just another way of saying comfort food, so say the Brass Sisters and even if you only give this book a quick glance you'll know this is a book chock full of comfort food. These are recipes your grandmother might have used. The Brass Sisters have scoured the country, eating here and there, sampling recipe after recipe, saving the best and here they are. If you've ever wanted to be the cook your grandmother was, this book will help you achieve that goal. Call them farschpais, ... Read More Rating: - A Great Cookbook for Your Sunday MealEven if you never cooked up a recipe in this fine cookbook you'd still get more enjoyment out of it than you ever could have imagined. The preface and intro chapter on ingredients will take you back to yesteryear when women made delicious meals out of whatever they had on hand. A time when the whole chicken was used, because people couldn't afford to waste, especially food. A time when a great many women lived on farms. A time when the family gathered around the table and when cooking was as much about love ... Read More
