Kitchen Boy Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)What a pleasure to read the book this summer while I was vacationing on Mount Desert Island. I hurried back to the bookstore to get another book by Mr. Pippen- Cheap Gossip- and was promptly informed by the cashier that he had been her High School English teacher!The book is a very "easy read" with the dryest humor. I had a similar upbringing as young An-dy in the book- working in a hotels and restaurants on Cape Cod, clamming with the parents, eating tons of fish, and waiting on the tourist population. This is surely a book that I will re-read each summer!

Memories of a Farm Kitchen Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Memories of a Farm Kitchen is not merely a picturebook - it is an extraordinary, lengthy, and in-depth history lesson about how the kitchens of 1920s and 1930s Midwestern farms used to be. Nostalgia-tinged drawings (and the occasional cartoon!) illustrate the facts of food preparation and household economics nearly a century ago, when homemakers had notably less access to modern technological contrivances. From how the kitchen might double as a nursery for at-risk baby farm animals, to old-fashioned canning processes, to how the kitchen often served a social role as well as its practical food-preparation function, Memories of a Farm Kitchen is an absorbing blend of history and memoir, especially recommended to give readers young and old a taste of country life nearly a century gone by. A surprisingly rich collection of recipes rounds out this delightful and highly recommended treasury.

SECRETS from the WHITE HOUSE KITCHENS Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Wow, if you ever wanted proof that US Presidents are just folks like the rest of us, you'll love this look into the eating habits of White House denizens! Mr. Hanny's anecdotes and asides make the reading enjoyable even if you don't plan to try any of the recipes. This is not food for the timid or the health-nut. This is real American Fare. Wonderful book Mr. Hanny, I'm looking forward to more!
