Product Description
From Library Journal
Storey is the cofounder of Storey Books, which publishes "country cooking" books, gardening guides, and other practical titles, and she's also the mother of three and the grandmother of eight. Many of these 500 recipes are family favorites, while others come from popular Storey authors. Time-honored, as the subtitle says, or dated, depending on your point of view, they include such old standards as Seafood Newburg (with Velveeta) and Frosted Lettuce Wedges; and many of the recipes are available in other standard sources. Perhaps the most useful parts of the book are the introduction and the sections on "Arts of the Country Kitchen" and "Arts of the Country Home," which include illustrated guides to techniques and terms, equipment and ingredients, preserving, cheese making, crafts, gardening, and more. For larger cookery and crafts collections.

Invaluable and easy to use!,
By M. Warner "biggus" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: 500 Treasured Country Recipes: Mouthwatering, Time-Honored, Tried & True, Handed-Down, Soul-Satisfying Dishes (Paperback)
When I got my first apartment, I bought The Joy Of Cooking, thinking I could make as much of a mess in the kitchen as I wanted without worrying about a roommate seeing it. All I wanted to do at first was make a good beef stew (my own trials were OK, but nothing I'd share with anyone). Well, in The Joy Of Cooking, the task was comparable to building a nuclear power plant from scratch. Fortunately, I got this book for Christmas that year (2 months later) and have since made all sorts of dishes I wouldn't dare to try with the recipes from that "other" book. Beef strognoff - fewer than 10 ingredients. Mac and cheese - 6 ingredients. Cheesecake - 4 ingredients. And they all taste great! I'd give this book 10 stars if it were possible.

This is another wonderful book by the Storeys. There is a collection of great recipes for every occasion, as well as information about how to make your own cleansers, a few nice crafts, even some info about canning, storage, and pickling. I love this book and have had great success with what recipes I have made from it so far. The directions are easy to follow, and there is definitly no shortage of great recipe ideas. A definite winner!
