I don't love this quite as much as Food the really Schmecks but it is still pretty entertaining.

Edna's second book doesn't disappoint! "Self respecting cooks in Waterloo County don't bother with recipes to make regular fruit pies" . I love sitting down and having a cup of coffee with Edna!

My dad gave me Food That Really Schmecks and I refer to it time and again. I even pull it out when looking for something to read. Now I have two, love them both.
