Memories and Tastes of Home
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 24 years ago
When my grandmother died, I was the lucky recipient of "her "secret recipes."(Cooking Down East : Favorite Maine Recipes and Keep Cooking the Maine Way). Everytime I make the Melt in Your Mouth Blueberry Cake, the Fish Chowder or the Lobster Newburg (the fancy one--of course!), I am momentarily returned to my childhood.The Red Flannel Hash is pretty terrific, too.At last count, I had 273 cookbooks in my private collection, but these two are the ones I most often return to when I wish a taste of home. Unlike many others, they seem to spend a majority of the time on my kitchen counter, permanently dusted with flour, stained forever with tiny Maine blueberries.If you are looking for nothing fancy-schmancy, only exemplary "home-style cooking," then these are the best you will ever find.Thanks Nanny (and thanks Ms. Standish)
I haven't found anything in this book my family didn't like!

My first edition of this book was given to me by my husband 26 years ago. I have many fond memories of family dinners, deserts and favourite recipes from this book. To me it is a touch of home. Gloria Legere Mainiac in Exile in Washington State.
The best cookbook always.

I grew up with this book and Ms. Standishs other Keep cooking the Maine way. Absolutely the best book. Good simple food and easy to follow. I love it!
Another example of why Maine is such a special place.

As I get ready to go to my yearly family lobster bake here on the Fourth of July, I bring with me a long time favorite of Marjorie Standish's, Melt-in-your-mouth blueberry cake. I have bake this cake for friends from all over and it is always a hit. I double the recipe and make a 9"x13" because there is never enough! I was so glad to see this cookbook back in print since my mother will not give up her copy which I grew-up using. Majories fish chowders are the best especially on a cold snowy night! A "must" cookbook for the kitchen.
Finest Kind.

This book was always in the kitchen at home, and one of the first things I learned to cook was the Doughnut Muffins, which we often had on Sunday mornings with the papers. Only place I know that has a real recipe for Red Flannel Hash, too! Brings back lovely memories. Soul Food for a Maine girl
