Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This is another of Linda's wonderful cookbooks.She hits the mark with saving time, something that all of us need to do in our hectic world, yet still creating delicious recipes.

I have followed Linda's website, [...], for years.It's great to have a lot of her recipes in a printed form (please, About, publish another one!!).

Some highlights of this book in a nutshell:Every margin has incredibly useful tips and information that are related to the adjacent recipe.She includes some pertinent questions (perhaps from her web readers?) and answers as well.My favorite recipes include the Gourmet Grilled Cheese, Norwegian Toast (like biscotti - heaven with coffee in the morning!), Carmelized Onion Dip (started in the slow cooker), Freezer Waffles (the kids love 'em--I even sneak in a little wheat germ), and the Grilled Seafood pizza which is a hit with my Bunco friends.All of them are very quick and Linda knows just where to cut corners on time, never sacrificing flavor.I can't wait to try more of these recipes.Meanwhile, I will stayed tuned to her website!!

Don't miss the back of the book with Linda's recommendations for her favorite websites and cookbooks.

Joyce Lamont's Favorite Minnesota Recipes & Radio Memories Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This book is just plain wonderful.The recipes are old fashioned and delicious, and the stories absorbing and fun.The recipies I have tried have been perfect.

Wheat Germ Corn Bread is my new favorite type of cornbread.It's rich, tender, and delicious, with the best flavor.

Cream Filled Chocolate Cupcakes were a huge hit at my nephew's birthday party.I frosted them with chocolate icing out of the can.They were moist and full of chocolate; just perfect.

Just for fun I tried Hawaiian Upside-Down Ham Loaf, and was surprised to find it was really good too!The mustard and pineapple added a great spicy and sweet taste to the ham.

If nothing else, buy this book for the first chapter.If you ever heard Joyce Lamont on the radio, you'll want to buy this book.

Product Description:

In more than fifty years of broadcasting from the Twin Cities WCCO, Joyce Lamont shared countless recipes, household tips, travel notes, and homey anecdotes with her audience. In the process she became one of the best-loved cooks, household helpers, and radio personalities in the Midwest--and a virtual member of the family for millions of listeners.

This book collects 300 recipes from Joyce Lamonts kitchen--all of them well tested over time by her vast and devoted audience. Characteristically simple, well-seasoned, delicious, family-friendly, and reliable, these recipes are the essence of comfort food. Each week WCCOs "Best Buys" guided homemakers to the foods that were in season, at peak quality, and reasonably priced. Just so, this book follows the calendar, directing readers to the freshest ingredients available throughout the year and making the most of these in recipes that celebrate the seasons plenty.

Sweetened and spiced throughout with Ms. Lamonts reminiscences of radio personalities and on-air antics, these recipes invite us back into one of the warmest and most welcoming kitchens ever to serve such a close, extended family. And as a bonus the book includes a collection of Ms. Lamonts household hints--tips that range from drying gourds for decoration to the best way to open a stubborn jar--suggestions that are as trustworthy and timeless as the recipes they accompany.
