Product Description:
Authors of Heirloom Baking and James Beard Award finalists Marilynn and Sheila Brass launched a whole new cookbook category with their "heirloom" baking recipes. Now they turn their culinary skills to the rest of the menu, presenting delicious, savory, and timeless heirloom dishes collected over decades and updated for the modern kitchen.
Marilynn and Sheila Brass have spent a lifetime collecting handwritten "manuscript cookbooks" and "living recipes." Heirloom Cooking collects and skillfully updates 135 of the very best of these, which together represent nearly 100 years of the best-loved and most delicious dishes from all over North America. The oldest recipes date back to the late 1800s, and every decade and a wide variety of ethnicities are captured here.
The book is divided into sections including Starters; Salads; Vegetables; Breads; Main Dishes including Lamb, Beef, Veal, Pork, Fish, Chicken, and Turkey; Vegetarian; and—of course—Dessert. As they did in Heirloom Baking, the Brass sisters include the wonderful stories behind the recipes, and once again, lush photography is provided by Andy Ryan.

If you are looking for a stuffy gourmet cookbook, heirloom cooking is not for you. If you want homestyle recipes that don't always adhere to your tried and true methods, then this might be the cookbook for you.
Heirloom cooking is a collection of recipes that are traditional, fun, and sometimes odd. In today's world where we are often looking for the new and exciting recipes with the flavor of the day, Heirloom Cooking is a throwback to days when cooking was often simpler. Recipes ... Read More

What this book does best is return us to a time when families sat down together for meals. When loving Moms and Grandmothers made wonderful tasting foods and weren't afraid to use real butter, sugar, and other ingredients that have fallen into disfavor in recent decades. The book is a time capsule of recipes collected from cookbooks, magazines, handwritten cards and journals from the 1920's through the early 1960's.
When I think back to childhood, I remember my Grandmother making things ... Read More

This recipe book should be a must read for every family. You'll find every imaginable recipe you'll ever need for small family dinners or large party gatherings.
Start with appetizers, soups and salads. Enjoy mouth watering "home plates" (entrees) served with delicious sides and unforgettable breads. And don't forget dessert!
My personal favorite recipes are Katherine's Shepherd's Pie, Enormous Popovers and Shoofly Pie.
The book cover of this beautifully illustrated ... Read More

The Brass sisters collect hand-written books of recipes from various parts of America; Heirloom Cooking is a selection of those recipes, mostly from the 1930's to 1950's. Each of the recipes has a note about its history, a little story about the woman who originally wrote down the recipe, making it a very interesting cookbook to READ.
However, the cookbook is hard to actually USE for cooking, especially for beginners like myself. The recipes don't list approximate cook times, so a beginning cook ... Read More

I really enjoyed reading "Heirloom Cooking With the Brass Sisters." In fact, I sat down and read it cover to cover. The stories of who they got the recipes from, or their memories of eating and preparing them is pure pleasure. And this isn't just an exercise in the history of food either, these are recipes you can cook and serve today. My only disappointment is that I wanted more!
