Reviews for
The Poor Man's Cookbook
by Brenda and Cliff Roberts
Want to read a cookbook with a little family history? If
you do, The Poor Man's Cookbook is for you.
Recipes of family members that were made and shared during
precious moments of fellowship can be found within the pages
of this book.
Recipes that will tempt your taste buds, but still not strain
your budget can be made and enjoyed!
Zucchini bread, corn bread, Jell-O salad, all written with
easy instructions for you the reader to make and share with
those you love. My favorite would have to be Broccoli and
Cheese Soup, with some of those
hot biscuits, that are said to be excellent! Yum! I will
say however, that I am going to pass on the Rabbit Stew. But
if I am ever starving, it's nice to know that recipe is there.
I just hope I never have to use it!
If you want a cookbook that will help you save those pennies
and give you some delightful stories to read while your cooking,
this is it. A cookbook that shares a heart of a family!
Eat Well!

MidWest Book Review
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
This is a great book for genealogy lovers! More than a collection
of recipes, it’s a heart-warming slice of family history
which uses an element common to all human beings: food. The
type of food we prepare and eat shapes our lives down to the
last molecule, and here we see that the Roberts’ combined
families come from sturdy stock. Their blended legacy is one
of grace under pressure and survival with celebration. Each
humble but delicious recipe is related with pride and good
humor. Here is something for everyone, from the novice cook
to the busiest working parent. Although the foods described
are traditional Southern cooking, the directions for preparing
each dish are straightforward. The Roberts’ make everything
sound easy and tempting. It’s easy to see why these
recipes are family treasures.
At the heart of the book is the section on Thanksgiving,
and like the best of Thanksgivings, this book invites you
to the table with this large and openhearted clan. After poring
through this unique collection, complete with photographs
of family members and their treasured hand-written recipes,
I feel as though this family has touched me, too.
