Read it Here Of all the poems I wrote in high school when I was 16. This is the only poem of mine I sometimes think back to. I wrote a shorter version of it after going through what could only be described as ‘a really messed up time’ in my life. Suffice to say, while this poem can be firmly placed into the fiction category, it bears a great resemblance to events that happened to friends and…

Recently I have been doing a lot of social media. That sounds like I’m doing drugs, and from how wrecked my brain feels by the end of the day, I feel like I am doing drugs. It’s mostly fun, but staring at a screen all day is making me feel batty. ANYWAY! The site I’m enjoying the most is definitely AuthorsDen. I took it some advice from another user there that the best way to get people to check…

Since finding Orope listed on Amazon (you can also find it on B&N and Chapters/Indigo) I have started to promote my book through every social  novel/author network that I can find. As I sign up for them, and so it’s easier for readers to find me, I will be sure to make blog updates whenever I join one. So far you can find me here: Goodreads AuthorsDen WritersNet BookTalk If you think there’s a…

Passed Down Through 4 Generations

Title: . Passed Down Through 4 Generations

Tasty Read … Recommended … 5 stars

The Review BEVERAGE recipes offered on the pages of Passed Down Through 4 Generations include Alcoholic and Non-Alcoholic. This reviewer found CHEF TELL’S CREAMY HOLIDAY EGG NOG to be especially tasty. CHEF TELL’S PECAN CHEESE BALLS proved a hit at a recent holiday gathering. I am anxious to try PAPPY’S STICK-TO-YOUR-RIBS CREAM OF POTATO & ONION SOUP or CHEF TELL’S GRATED PARMESAN CHEESE & ONION SOUP; both sound delicious.

PAPPY’S CRACKLIN’ SKILLET CORN FRITTERS, CHEF TELL’S CHEDDAR CHEESE DROP BISCUITS and JOE’S EASY TO MAKE ONION ROLLS all proved to be simple to make, and mighty tasty to eat. JOE’S DOWN HOME COUNTRY SWISS STEAK is offered along with GRANDADDY’S ORANGE BAKED PORK CHOPS and MILFORD’S BATTERED SOUTHERN FRIED CHICKEN in the section titled Taylor Entrée Favorites.

Included in the Passed Down Through 4 Generations offerings are engaging comments and background information regarding the author’s family of chefs. The reader will learn how the Taylor family men came to be known for their cooking after Grandfather grew up remembering and sharing tales of some of his favorite childhood foods. Included are recipes for many tasty dishes southern folks will also remember: fried green tomatoes dipped in cornmeal, fried potatoes and onions with sausage, scrambled eggs, piping hot buttermilk biscuits with a side order of red-eye gravy, venison chops and sweet creamed peas, egg custard pie, bread pudding with nuts and apples, and Grandfather’s mother’s old-fashioned peach cobbler. These are the recipes for dishes I remember with happiness from my own childhood. Cooks will find recipes for beverages, appetizers, soup, bread, entrée, side dishes/veggies, salads, dessert, low cal, sandwich, sauce, herbs and spices, cooking with wine, substitutions, standard measurements.

The writer states, ‘The Taylor family’s recipes used in this cookbook are (for the most part), made with standard/familiar ingredients which make it quick and easy to create an array of savory dishes fit for a king.’

The format of this eminently stimulating and easily used work makes for pleasant reading, remembering, and hours of agreeable cooking. The recipes I have tried have been easy to mix up, family pleasing and just plain good to eat. Many stir joyful memories of my own childhood and leave me anxious to cook more whenever I want to something delicious to server, or need to refresh my own psyche with a step back to the table of my mother.

Of particular use to new cooks will be the table author Taylor Murray has included for standard measurements and emergency substitutions.

Writer Taylor Murray says ~From our kitchen to yours we hope you’ll enjoy some of our family’s favorite recipes~

Passed Down Through 4 Generations is a must have for those who collect cook books, enjoy cooking and new cooks.

Enjoyed the recipes, both reading and cooking. Happy to recommend.
