Cook & Tell: No Fuss Recipes

For almost 20 years, Karyl Bannister has been sharing fabulous down-home specialties from across the country in her celebrated newsletter, Cook & Tell, and winning the hearts of influential food writers like Jane and Michael Stern and Marion Cunningham in the process. This is the uncomplicated old-favorites kind of cooking that it readers engage in every day of the week. It is a cookbook for food lovers who clip recipes from newspaper, have a secret file of no-nonsense recipes handed down by family and friends, and who like real food from real kitchens, not highfalutin chef's recipes. Filled with folksy anecdotes, the book is like an agreeable chat and recipe swap with an old friend.
