The Friendly Cook ― Remembering, With Recipes

What does a lonely young cook - and mother of three - do to reach out to the world? In this stirring collection of recipes interspersed with memoir and family stories, the cook reaches out by starting her very own Friendly Cooks Club. At the start, she sends out mimeographed legal size sheets to cooks across the nation, for a ten-cent membership charge. She meets people, as if she's invented an early version of social media. A woman ahead of her time, Evelyn Stewart shares her favorite recipes and family stories, with candor and humor. As one reader said of this collection, "Gotta tell you -I'm loving this!" Whether you're looking for a new twist on old recipes, or just want a glimpse into the cook's family life, there's something here for everyone!
