Betty's Best: A Cook's Family Cookbook (Paperback or Softback)

Betty's Best is the true story of a magnificent rural Appalachian woman told through her recipes. Yep, it's a cookbook with a few short stories and insights mixed in.

You see, Betty showed her love through food. She became quite renowned in her neck of the woods for her tasty creations. The recipes were often just the proper mix of common ingredients available in most any kitchen. Yet, the country comfort foods and baked goods that she served up were loved by everyone who knew her.

A few years before her passing at the age of ninety, she realized that many of her time-honored recipes might soon be lost, so she took up the task of handwriting her personal favorites into a composition notebook. Having been a traditional country cook, she often measured by taste or texture rather than teaspoons and cups. Therefore, she had to convert these "measurements" into numbers the rest of the world could understand. The resulting collection is her legacy and gift to the world.

Betty's Best will certainly become one of your favorite go-to resources for food creations for all of your own family's special occasions.
