Cookbook Review: Cook’s Country
For Christmas, my sister gave me The Complete Cook’s Country TV Show Cookbook.
At first, I was kind of puzzled. I’d never seen the show. But a few pages in, and I was drooling.
There was a new kind of pecan pie that doesn’t use Karo syrup I’m dying to try…
The only thing I like better than apple pie is a full sheet pan worth of it. Yum. It’s got a glaze, people. A glaze.
The cool thing about the cookbook is the scientific explanations and backstory of the show sprinkled in with the recipes. It makes me feel like I watched the show even though I didn’t, and I love all the homestyle, good old-fashioned homecooking recipes that don’t rely on canned soups or tons of processed ingredients.
Now if only I can find 19 more people to eat the apple slab pie with me…
Or maybe I’ll just freeze it. You’d believe me, right?
Stay tuned, Invisible Friends! A new story manana!

I love that show! I don’t watch it much because I’m rarely home when it’s on, but it’s one of the few genuine instructive cookign shows on TV. Bowtie Guy is not exactly Mr. Bubbly, but even with his serious personality it works. I should get this cookbook myself. I’m so intrigued by that pecan pie!

The pecan pie looks good. LOL – you can probably freeze some of the uniced apple slab pie,if it lasts that long.

I’ll take a piece of pie (as if there would be any left in your house)

Bring your apple slab pie right on up here. You’ll be certain that Ryan and Dan are at least 6 people between them! I’d like to hear about the pecan pie without Karo: is it less sugary?

I wish I could be there to eat some of that pie with you
January 10th, 2013 at 8:11 pm
Ooo yum! Now I’m hungry.
January 10th, 2013 at 8:34 pm
