Church Suppers: 722 Favorite Recipes from Our Church Communities

by Barbara Greenman (editor)

Church Suppers celebrates gatherings of neighbors, family, and friends with delicious, down-home recipes from all over the United States and Canada. These are the dishes we remember and cherish, that bring us back to a simpler Fiesta Dip, Red Flannel Hash, Sloppy Joe Turnovers, Green Bean Casserole, Earthquake Cake, Blueberry Buckle...plus many regional and ethnic Moussaka, Jambalaya, Chiles Relleños, Babka, Cannoli, and more. And because the recipes come from real people with bustling families, busy work schedules, imperfect kitchens, and realistic budgets, they are easy to prepare and focus as much on simplicity as they do on taste.

Full of local flavor and rounded out with line drawings and anecdotes about the contributing churches, Church Suppers is a delightful addition to any home kitchen.

This is an excellent cookbook.

I wanted to like this book. It was a gift, and has sentimental value, but for recipes it doesn't have much to offer. For someone who loves cookbooks (are there such people?), it could be a cute gift, as it gives recipes for some traditional potluck recipes that you never would have thought to make and also has some poems and short stories throughout it about food, community, love, etc.

Only interesting if you are a new bride who hasn't much experience cooking.
