How To Cook Like Your Grandmother

Whether you're an experienced cook or just starting out, How To Cook Like Your Grandmother will show you how to make the kind of meals your grandmother was famous for.

Maybe it was her Thanksgiving turkey, with that wonderful smell as soon as you opened her front door. The crispy golden skin over moist, delicious white meat. The unforgettable turkey noodle soup the next day, made with fresh egg noodles that you helped roll out.
Or it could have been the Sunday dinner -- lasagna with whole milk mozzarella and home-made noodles.
Then there was the Irish Soda Bread with golden raisins and topped with raw sugar, warm from the oven with just-churned butter.

Whatever was on the menu, you can bet it didn't come out of a box. Grandma cooked from scratch.

Discover the simple secrets to memorable meals

In How To Cook Like Your Grandmother you'll find not just the secret recipes that Grandma kept in her recipe book, but the answers to questions you didn't know to ask:

How much is a "pinch"
When the recipe says "add fat" what exactly does she mean?
Why is my food always bland, even when I follow the recipe exactly?

If you're lucky enough to have inherited her legendary recipe book, you'll probably find that Grandma was taking notes for herself. She already knew how to cook, so there were steps she left out. Heck, there were ingredients she left out.

How To Cook Like Your Grandmother puts the missing steps and the missing ingredients back in, and ties it all together with step-by-step instructions that get you through the first time.

I learned everything I know about cooking from my Grandparents and my mom. They were a huge influence on what has become my cooking philosophy and style. So I love this blog because it gives a shout out to The Grandmothers of all cultures and walks of life. It is about respecting the older generation and what they taught us.

FOR ONLY $14.95 you'll learn more than how to make a new dish: You'll rediscover what it means to be a cook.

Make the best food you'll ever taste

Too many cookbooks are all about what not to eat, for reasons that have nothing to do with taste. How To Cook Like Your Grandmother is about taste first, last and always.

There are no substitutions based on calories. Grandma didn't count calories when she made pecan pie, why should you?

You also won't see microwave directions anywhere. Not because there's anything wrong with technology, there simply aren't any recipes where the food tastes better coming out of a microwave. If it doesn't make the food better, it won't be in this book.

If you're looking for the best tasting recipes, this is where you'll find them. If you're looking for recipes that match the diet of the week ... well, you can't please everybody.

How To Cook Like Your Grandmother harks back to a slower lifestyle, when cooking wasn't just another step in a busy agenda.

and start eating what you want to eat, not what the latest fad says you should eat.

Learn more than just recipes

There's so much more to cooking than that.

Lots of us have grown up on microwaved meals and fast food. Many kids today have never seen chicken still on the bone. (I could barely believe it myself when I heard this from an 11-year-old.) When we do cook, half the time we're heating up something out of a box that you can't read without a chemistry degree.

And how about the food scare of the week? First cholesterol was going to kill us. Now eggs are the ideal food. Or there was butter, which you couldn't eat because of the saturated fat. Until we found out the margarine we switched to had trans fat, which is worse than butter.

Our grandmothers didn't have prefab meals and the food police. What they did have was several generations of collected knowledge of how to prepare food. The recipes they learned from their mothers were often the same recipes, made with the same ingredients, that people had been using for over a century.

How To Cook Like Your Grandmother goes beyond recipes, to cover how our grandmothers cooked and why. It addresses the basic questions: What do I want to eat? And what do I want to feed my family?

This book is a first step to restoring that tradition of passing on the best recipes and techniques.

Take control of what you eat

Sometimes the hardest part of trying to eat what you want is figuring out just what you're eating to begin with!

In How To Cook Like Your Grandmother there are no prepared foods. If there are five ingredients listed for a recipe, that's what is in the dish: five ingredients. You won't have to read the fine print on the back of a box to tell what you're eating.

If you want to save time with prepared foods, it should be because you want to, not because you think you can't make it yourself. Nothing is off limits:

Make your own Worcestershire sauce
Make your own Dijon mustard
Make your own Caesar or ranch salad dressings

Oh, and did I mention that each of these will be better than anything in a bottle at your local grocery store?

Finally, a cookbook that doesn't make you buy special ingredients for every recipe ... ingredients you'll never use again.

Share the joy of cooking with your spouse

Little boys who think "cooking is for girls" grow up into men who don't know their way around a kitchen. Then fussy, complicated recipes keep them out of the kitchen, and they never experience the satisfaction of preparing a meal for their family.

They say man does not live on bread alone, but some of them get by on chips and microwave pizza. You, and easy-to-follow recipes, can help your man do much better than just getting by.
