What other must-have "farmgirl cookbooks" does anyone recommend?! I am trying to start a good collection :)

Jonnie, I got my cookbook from Amazon on Tuesday and have made the sauerkraut rye bread 2 times. The first one did not get done inside so I changed the method some. It didnot tell you to let the dough raise in the pan before baking. I let it raise about 30 minutes before baking. It relly is tasty.
I have marked many more to try. Thanks for letting us know about this wonderful cookbook. |

Hey Jonni, I just ordered this off of ebay for $4.99 brand new. So now I can't wait to get my own copy!!! Everyone has such wonderful things to say about it. I love cookbooks anyway though. I just signed up for the cookbook swap. Thank you for recommending the cookbook! Hey I have a scathingly brilliant idea - maybe we should all submit a recipe and publish it as The Farmgirls Cookbook!!! Wouldn't that be fun!!
Farmgirl Hugs,
Carol

I've had my book for 2 weeks now...but it's been a BUSY past 2 weeks so I have not had time to prepare any of the recipes. Well, company is gone....and I have promised myself that I WILL make a couple of the recipes. Since tomatoes are sooooo abundant right now, I'm going to make the "Oven Dried Tomatoes"...which is a very simple recipe....and I will be able to use them in so many different dishes. And I will also make the "Farm Fresh Cheese"...as I have always wanted to make some...but have never been brave enough. You ladies make me brave enough because I know that if something goes awry and it doesn't turn out like it is suppose to, I can ask what I did wrong...and you will be kind enough to help me figure it out. That is one of the many reasons I love this place!!!
And.......
Miss Whitney....Here's my suggestion for a "must have" cookbook. I LOVE "The Cotton Country Collection".....It is put out by the Junior League of Monroe (Louisiana) Inc. My sister bought it for me in 1977...and it quickly became my favorite cookbook. I have used it soooo many times, and have written in the margins...made notes on some of the recipes. It is the first book I grab when I want to try something new. My niece was looking through it one day....and kept saying she wanted to take it home with her. I couldn't part with it...but told her I would buy one for her...and she said she wanted mime because it had all the notes in the margins. I found a copy of the book on eBay....and I went through it page by page and put all my notes by the recipes....and gave it to her. She LOVES it!!! Anyway.....short story turned loooong...
That's my recommendation.
What recipes have any of you ladies tried....out of the Prairie Home Cooking??
Ciao,
Kate

I just made the Buttermilk-Oatmeal Bread. My husband loves homemade bread and this turned out great! I would certainly recommend it. I made mine in my bread machine.
Remember, you are unique-- just like everyone else. |

Cool!!! I'm so glad everyone has made something that they enjoy, or have ordered the book for themselves.
Who is making the oven fried tomatoes? If you have an abundance of maters, my neighbor borrowed the cookbook last Summer and made the yellow tomato soup with olive tapenade and she said it was phenomenal!
I will have to try the Rye bread, as I've been hankering for a real true rueben at the house. And the oatmeal bread sounds fabulous, to boot.
I really enjoyed the pantry section of the book--does anyone have any comments about that part yet?
Carol...I'm game. We should all make something from a section now and again and formulate our "submissions" :)

Whitney, I too second some of the Junior League cookbooks for hands down favorites. I think my favorite (out of the several I own) is called Southern Sideboards, from the Junior League of Jackson, Mississippi. See if you can drum that one up for your collection :)
