What's Cooking at Moody's Diner: 60 Years of Recipes and Reminiscences

I love this book. The recipes are easy and I remember some of them from years ago. A definite stocking stuffer for my family.

I grew up in Waldoboro, ME, the home of Moody's Diner. Now, 30 years later, when I go back to Waldoboro, I always stop in for a meal at Moody's. The food is wonderful diner fare, the prices are very reasonable.The atmosphere never changes. It is a step back to another era.

I purchased this book at L.L. Bean in the early 1990s and it is one of my favorites. The 'Gingerbread II' recipe is one of my staples; it makes the house smell great while it's cooking and it is a very hearty dessert -- a real crowd-pleaser! I also love the 'Lemon-Ginger Chicken Salad' recipe which includes green seedless grapes and is served in half a cantaloupe. I've taken the recipe to many pot-luck dinners and it always receives favorable comments. The zucchini-orange bread and banana bread recipes are also part of my list of "old stand-bys".The pictures of Moody's through the decades are great, too. You won't go wrong with this cookbook!
