From a three-time winner of the prestigious Tastemaker Award, Mrs. Witty's Homestyle Menu Cookbook is a journey to the classic dishes of our past, and to our culinary roots.

These are the dishes Grandma made-only better. Discover 40 menus, including one for the meal of meals, a traditional Thanksgiving, and over 150 skillfully written recipes. Pristine Pot Roast with Gravy. Christmas Eve Oyster Stew. Nantucket Corn Pudding, Scalloped Scallops, Yankee Baked Beans, Stuffed Pork Chops. And for dessert, Plum Velvet, Raspberry Rhubarb Parfait, and Out of the Icebox Cake.

In her chatty but information-filled style, Mrs. Witty embellishes each recipe with inside tips, strong opinions, and charming reminiscences.

Reviews

Two menu cookbooks celebrating simple American-style food. Witty is the author of Fancy Pastry ( LJ 5/15/86) and coauthor, with Elizabeth S. Colchie, of Better Than Store-Bought ( LJ 5/15/79). Her very chatty book features lots of comfort food organized into categories such as "A Dinner To Ask a Person To." Her collection of homey recipes could serve as an antidote to some of the overly trendy cookbooks out there. McLaughlin's recipes are more sophisticated than Witty's, but his menus also are designed for casual entertaining. Along with classics like choucroute and potato gratin are dishes such as Cornmeal Fettucine with Quail and Shiitake that reflect the author's background as a contributing writer to Julee Rosso and others' The Silver Palate Cookbook ( LJ 6/15/82); some personal favorites, some interesting ideas, a few creations that seem a bit too esoteric. Both these books are timely and likely to be popular.
