Notes about Recipes in this book

• Cranberry bread

  • Bloominanglophile on September 15, 2013

    Made this back in 1994 and rated it "Good".

    Substituted pecans for walnuts. Also used zest and juice from two lemons instead of the orange. Very good. I did not let it sit for 24 hours as the recipe recommends.

• Maple custard

  • Hawky on November 03, 2014

    I have made this several times over the years. It's quick, easy and done with everyday kitchen staples. Recommended.

• Pumpkin with ham, onions, and corn

  • Bloominanglophile on September 15, 2013

    Hmmm...I gave this 4 stars back in 1994, with the suggestion to either use less onion, or perhaps dice them instead. Think I may have to revisit (?) this before rating it for EYB!

• Sweet potato soufflé

  • Tinala523 on October 19, 2021

    Loved this when I made it in the 90's, and still do. Nice and light with a hint of orange, and the marshmallows give a nice touch of sweet. Recommend!

• Collard greens

  • Bloominanglophile on September 15, 2013

    This recipe has earned a spot in my favorites file. It is delicious, easy, and quick. Just add some Hoppin John and cornbread, and you have a soulful meal!

• Emily's chile con carne with beans

  • swegener on February 01, 2015

    This was really good--especially using the recipe for homemade chili powder!

• Crab cakes Maryland

  • PennyG on June 07, 2020

    This is a solid recipe for crab cakes. I’ve used it many times over the years!

• Turner's Boston clam chowder

• Corn bread

  • Bloominanglophile on September 15, 2013

    When I made this many years ago, I noted that I "can find a better recipe". This recipe doesn't have any sugar, uses milk instead of buttermilk, and has no melted butter in the batter--three ways in which it is different from my favorite (so far) cornbread recipe (from Deborah Madison's Vegetarian Cooking for Everyone).

• Chicken-fried steak with cream gravy

  • Bloominanglophile on September 15, 2013

    Back when I made this in 1997, I thought it quite good.

• Pasta with fresh asparagus and scallops

  • pattyatbryce on October 16, 2019

    This was one of my first "gourmet" recipes. Easy to do and tastes terrifc.
