  March 2015 - Kindle $2.50ish. Several recipes of interest, and very seasonal organization from late fall through the holidays to the various stages of a real winter -- including "early spring" and Easter (still cold weather in New England). Ebook failures: no full listing of recipes anywhere, either in table of contents or as chapter ToCs; menus (with links to recipes) dotted throughout are not listed in ToCs; index opens to page w clickable letters of the alphabet, a good approach -- ruined by having letters jammed so close together it's impossible to hit correct one with fingers and even difficult with stylus. WTF, Workman e-"editor"??

  I have the same combination title. A gem of a cookbook.

Notes about Recipes in this book

• Mr. Powers's broccoli and mustard seed soup

  • Lee on October 26, 2014

    Superb

• Nantucket tomato soup

  • Lee on September 21, 2018

    Delicious!

  • clouse91 on December 11, 2013

    I used 2 quarts of home-canned tomatoes instead of fresh tomatoes. Instead of fresh basil, I added about two tablespoons of prepared basil pesto. The addition of carrots and celery make this soup healthier, but hard to blend as smooth as other tomato soups. Was delicious with a splash of heavy cream.

• Slow-cooked beef stew

  • lizwinn on October 12, 2010

    I usually use leftover roasted root vegetables in this. Great recipe as is....

• Stifado

  • lizwinn on October 12, 2010

    Another family favorite.

• Autumn pork roast

  • lizwinn on October 12, 2010

    So yummy..........

• Corn and chorizo cazuela

  • lizwinn on October 12, 2010

    I make this with roasted Hatch chiles. Great for brunch.

  • libraryhead on April 09, 2015

    Loved this.

• Cornmeal crêpes with chèvre and hot pepper jelly

  • ellabee on March 02, 2015

    Great for entertaining, as the crepes can be made, filled, and set in the baking dish a day ahead, then baked at the last minute.

• Citrus terrine

  • ellabee on March 02, 2015

    Advance prep: Terrine must be frozen overnight before serving.

• Farewell-to-friends fettucine

  • libraryhead on April 09, 2015

    Not calorie conscious, but so good. Works with canned tomatoes too.

  • ntt2 on February 27, 2012

    Excellent Pasta Meat Sauce!

• My very favorite asparagus vinaigrette

  • libraryhead on April 09, 2015

    I have made this dozens of times -- it truly deserves the name.

• Perciatelli with shiitake mushrooms and fresh ginger

  • ntt2 on February 17, 2012

    This is an excellent make ahead salad -- found Perciatelli a tad "big" and so usually substitute another pasta.

• Pine nut macaroons

  • ntt2 on February 27, 2012

    Delish!

• Flemish endive soup

  • ntt2 on February 27, 2012

    Very Good Soup!

    Great Side Dish!

• Four-bean chili

  • Rachaelsb on January 23, 2018

    Great chili! Lots of layers to flavor.

• Freda's beef stew

  • Rachaelsb on January 15, 2018

    Traditional, straightforward, satisfying, hearty beef stew. I added a splash of red wine and decided to thicken a bit with 1/2 c. h2o and 1 1/2t. Corn starch.

• Grilled chicken breasts with lemon and rosemary

  • Rachaelsb on October 20, 2019

    Easy flavorful chicken recipe. Perfect for after work dinner as long as you marinade in monring.

• Hungarian chicken

  • Rachaelsb on January 04, 2018

    Delicious...nice change and spices give it wonderful sweet/tangy kick. We had with egg noodles and salad. great winter night dish.

• Mashed potatoes with garlic and olive oil

  • Rachaelsb on December 05, 2020

    NIce flavor but texture a bit like thick paste. I used Yukon potatoes as what I had so will try agin with red potatoes as per recipe. ALso could have used more garlic.

• Banana bread

  • Rachaelsb on November 19, 2020

    Really tasty but not the richness I was looking for. Would make again...but still in search of the perfect banana bread recipe. Suggestions welcome!!

• Auntie's meat loaf

  • Rachaelsb on December 05, 2020

    Good...not the special I had hoped for.

• Spaghetti with meatballs

  • Rachaelsb on January 23, 2018

    Very satisfying and filling. Not a lot of punch to recipe- more intensely comforting and balanced.

• Oatmeal bread

  • Rachaelsb on October 20, 2019

    I have struggled with bread baking but this has really helped me turn the corner. So easy. So delicious. Texture and taste are wonderful. Everything I hope a bread to be. Perfect for breakfast as toast or accompaniment to rich stew or soup.

• Pilgrim's porridge

  • JELogan on November 01, 2020

    This makes a LOT of porridge. Unless you are feeding a large family, definitely cut it in half. Quite boozy, but satisfying on a cold night. Didn't bother with the croutons, but gave it a sprinkling of Parmesan before serving. Delicious.
