Mrs. Appleyard's Summer Kitchen
Old farmhouses in Vermont have two kitchens: a cool and airy one for the summer; a warm, crowded one for the winter. From Mrs. Appleyard's summer kitchen (the second volume in this series) comes a glorious procession of picnic and. party dishes from May through October-traditional and original cooking to accompany the summer round of outdoor and indoor life with family and friends.
From the spring birthday picnic to the bake-off that warms an October evening, Mrs. Appleyard has the food - and the loving humorous stories-that make it a pleasure to share her life and her kitchen.
The Mrs. Appleyard Books are enchanting combinations of family saga, tart humor, practical advice and remarkable recipes for memorable meals and dishes. All best sellers when first published, and long out of print, they are now available for the first time in this uniform paperback edition.

3 1/2 🌟 really. It is a quaint & charming old-fashioned read with recipes. She reminds me a bit like my grandmother—you could ask her a question on any subject & she would know the answer. I love her community, their adventures & picnics & love of growing their own food.

Kent, a long-time Vermonter by marriage, and her daughter write a cookbook that is more like a portrait of a family and a community, interspersed with recipes. Most of them may not be for the way we cook now--the book originally came out in 1957--and maybe we don't live quite this way, either, but both recipes and stories are comforting and enjoyable.

A nostalgic cookbook of New England written with great humor!
