This is a cookbook I turn to over and over because its recipes are hits with my family and friends. Its stories of comfort foods from around the country are interesting too. This is the cookbook that taught me to make burgers that taste like the ones you get from a diner and shakes that please even the pickiest of teenagers.

The chapter on "Nursery Food" was the best followed by "Lunch Counter Cooking."
They discussed comfort food under these and a few other categories.

A great cookbook for theme parties, but even better for just sitting down to read. The Sterns can make cooking macaroni sound like an adventure!

This cookbook is fun for anyone who is in that retro state of mind. It isn't one of those books with modernized recipes that take all the fat and fun out of the food. The recipes were updated just enough to help a modern reader find appropriate ingredients. If you want cook like your grandmother, this is a good book to have handy.

I'm so sorry to see that this has been updated. The original is much funnier and captures the rich buy cheesy graphics of cooking up to the 1960s.
Read the recipes and you'll laugh until you cry! I grew up in an Italian neighborhood with an Italian mom, so some of the things in her my mother didn't know from, but my mother-in-law could have written this!

Interesting book, but I have never come across such an appetite killer in my life. It gave me too many unpleasant childhood dinner-table flashbacks.
