An outstanding book 5 out of 5 stars.
4 of 4 people found this review helpful.

This book is a delightful collection of recipes, enlivened with fascinating and often funny anecdotes about life in Minnesota's north woods. It is a pleasure to sit down and just read this book, and even more of a pleasure to take the recipes into the kitchen. All the recipes I've tried have performed flawlessly, and were fabulous. Can't recommend this book enough.

This is a wonderful cookbook (and the inn is a wonderful place to go to relax as well). I particularly like the salad dressing recipes, the onion soup, and everything else!

My Favorite Cookbook 5 out of 5 stars.
0 of 0 people found this review helpful.

The food in this cookbook is wonderful! We love to go to Murphin Ridge and were thrilled to be able to cook some of Sherry's favorites at home. The food at this wonderful inn is delicious and made with locally grown ingredients. I'm waiting for a second cookbook. We just can't get enough of her wonderful food! This is a wonderful gift for anyone who loves good food!

Editorial Review:

A Taste of the Murphin Ridge Inn offers more than 500 recipes that are as varied as the place itself. From Amish apple sugar cream pie to sun-dried tomato and asiago pasta with prawns, readers will find a stunning assortment of dishes and styles. Rounding out this mouth-watering collection are notes from the Murphin Ridge gardener who grows all the herbs and vegetables featured on the Murphin menu, as well as reflections on the seasons, the joys of running a bed and breakfast, and most of all, the beauty and glory of the surrounding landscape.

Best Christmas book 5 out of 5 stars.
7 of 7 people found this review helpful.

I love Christmas and books on holiday cooking, decorating, customs, and so on. I have a bunch of these books, but Marcia's is my all-time favorite. Her writing is engaging, the photos are lovely, and the recipes and decorating ideas are terrific. Every year, I pull this book out around the holidays and leaf through it while curled up in front of the fireplace. This book always puts me in a festive mood and is a great resource for planning holiday gatherings. It's also a delightful coffee table book to set out at Christmastime; my guests enjoy browsing through it, too. Highly recommended!

CENTENNIAL BUCKEYE COOK BOOK

Editorial Review:

By any standard the Centennial Buckeye Cook Book was the most important cookbook to have originated in Ohio in the nineteenth century. It included more than three hundred pages of good recipes for jellies and jams, soups and sauces, fruits and vegetables, meats, poultry and fish, and confectionery, cakes and pastry, and many more. It was, however, much more than just a cookbook. Some editions featured information about medicine and the chemistry of food, how to do the laundry, how to make icehouses, hints for the sick and, most unusual, hints for the well. The book was a reflection of home life in Ohio and America before the twentieth century totally swept aside rural American life styles.Andrew F. Smith.

The first edition of the Centennial Buckeye Cook Book was published in 1876. Between 1876 and 1905, a total of thirty-two editions of the cookbook were published, and more than one million copies sold. The book began as a project of the Marysville, Ohio, First Congregational Church when the women of the church decided to publish a cookbook in order to raise money to build a parsonage. Their effort launched a cookbook that rapidly became one of the most popular publications of nineteenth-century America. This is the first reprint of the original 1876 edition.

5 of 5 people found this review helpful.

Eleanor Ostman's column, Tested Recipes, appeared in the St. Paul Pioneer Press for over 30 years. "Always on Sunday" is a wonderful compilation of the very best of those columns. From great home-tested recipes and "from-scratch" cooking, to personal glimpses of Eleanor and her family as they tasted-tested hundreds of recipes, readers really felt like they knew Eleanor personally. Always on Sunday is like a great church cookbook that reads like a diary!

Obviously not a Midwestern Native 2 out of 5 stars.
7 of 9 people found this review helpful.

As a Midwesterner from 9 months of age, (and I've been around more than the author's 35 years living in the Chicago area) I was really excited when I saw this title. Then I started reading the Introduction. It's obvious this author is not a native Midwesterner. She states in this introduction "Consider this midday winter meal of 125 years ago, a time of demanding physical labor: raw oysters, roast chicken, mashed potatoes, stewed sweet potatoes, macaroni, turnips, squash or pumpkin pie, eggless plum pudding, plum preserves, assorted fruit, and coffee." Hmmm, I don't know any Midwest farmer who would have had access to raw oysters for a midday meal. A special meal maybe, but NOT a typical midday meal. And - isn't Cod a salt water fish? It just sort of spoiled my faith in the recipies. Plus she had recipies for lamb. Yikes, the only reason I grew up having lamb was my parents were from the New York City area. None of my friends had it. It was very rare that my mother could find it in the stores. (And even then it was more likely to be mutton, which is why most Midwesterners don't like lamb.)

Editorial Review:

Two hundred recipes celebrate the best of American traditional home cooking with such dishes as caramelized onions, corn fritters, oven ""fried"" chicken, and lemon poppyseed noodles. Tour.
