By Marilynn Brass and Sheila Brass
The Brass Sisters cookbooks are quite unique. Marilynn and Sheila could be classified as "cuisine historians." Their cookbooks contain handwritten family recipes they have collected from all over the United States and Canada. These recipes come from a variety of places, heirloom, handwritten recipe books, known as "manuscript cookbooks", loose handwritten recipes , known as "living recipes" and are gleaned from a variety of places like garage sales, used bookstores, as well as individuals who wanted to share a treasured recipe from their mother or aunt.
The recipes are simple to make and don't require exotic ingredients, as a matter of fact you probably have all that you need right in your pantry. The Brass Sisters encourage all home cooks to begin to collect their own heirloom recipes in the lined pages provided in the back of the cookbook.
The photographs are wonderful and feature images of original recipes and prized antique kitchenalia from the Brass Sisters personal collection. This is truly a one-of-a-kind cookbook by two wonderful, unique authors! What do you think?
