About this title

Synopsis

Susan Mendelson writes: "Since the title of this book is Mama Never Cooked Like This, first I must apologize to Mother Roz, who, in fact, makes a mean caramel fudge, can open a terrific can of corn niblets, and who convinced me at a very early age that the biggest treat in life was a TV Dinner. When, as a young girl growing up in Toronto, my sisters and I showed a keen interest in food preparation, boy, were we encouraged! Mom was so supportive that she even let us cook full course dinners five-six times a week! The other nights, we ordered in Chinese food or pizza .... At the age of nineteen, when I moved to Vancouver, ostensibly to continue my studies, but, as it turned out, to continue cooking, I was ready to explore life beyond TV Dinners. What I found in Vancouver was a whole new world of fresh fish and vegetables. And what I did with this newly-found, readily-available supply of food was combine it with the recipes of the multi-ethnic mix of the city, which, of course, I didn't have to leave Toronto to find." Mama Never Cooked Like This is Susan Mendelson's first cookbook - a fish, fresh fruit and vegetable cookbook, with chapters on: hot and cold hors d'oeuvres; soups; four fabulous salads; fish and seafood; vegetables; fresh fruit recipes for desserts; breads, loaves and muffins; and candies, bars and squares. What to do with: artichokes, asparagus, beets, broccoli, carrots, cauliflower, eggplant, green beans, potatoes, pumpkin, spinach, squash, sweet potatoes and yams, and zucchini. Also: apples, blueberries, cherries, lemons, peaches, pears, raspberries and strawberries. Great seafood recipes. Recipes for entertaining and for full course dinners. Easy-to-prepare gourmet food; snacks and treats. A basic cookbook, with 159 popular recipes; a book that is guaranteed to be well-used in the kitchen.
