About this title

Synopsis

From a three-time winner of the prestigious Tastemaker Award, Mrs. Witty's Homestyle Menu Cookbook is a journey to the classic dishes of our past, and to our culinary roots.

These are the dishes Grandma made-only better. Discover 40 menus, including one for the meal of meals, a traditional Thanksgiving, and over 150 skillfully written recipes. Pristine Pot Roast with Gravy. Christmas Eve Oyster Stew. Nantucket Corn Pudding, Scalloped Scallops, Yankee Baked Beans, Stuffed Pork Chops. And for dessert, Plum Velvet, Raspberry Rhubarb Parfait, and Out of the Icebox Cake.

In her chatty but information-filled style, Mrs. Witty embellishes each recipe with inside tips, strong opinions, and charming reminiscences.

Selection of the Book-of-the-Month Club and Better Homes & Gardens Family Book Service. A nominee for a James Beard Book Award.

From the Back Cover

MRS. WITTY TALKS THE REAL MASHED POTATOES

Come home to honest American cooking. In a cookbook that's wise, personal, feisty, and loving, Helen Witty takes us on a 200-recipe journey back to our culinary roots, and reinstates the full-flavored dishes that once reigned over family tables everywhere. Peerless Mashed Potatoes and Pristine Pot Roast, chunky Lobster Stew and Angel Cake-page through this book as you would an heirloom file of dog-eared recipe cards, and listen to Mrs. Witty as she reveals over 40 years of professional secrets, from sniffing out the perfect melon to preparing, trussing, stuffing, and roasting a glorious Thanksgiving turkey.

Helen Witty is a contributor to Gourmet, Food and Wine, Family Circle, and numerous other magazines, and a three-time winner of the prestigious Tastemaker-IACP/Seagram awards for cookbook excellence. She and her husband live on the eastern end of Long Island, between potato fields and fleets of baymen.

"I have been eating Mrs. Witty's home-style menus for over thirty years now, and I'm happy to tell you they are GOOD." -RICHARD L. WITTY

"Mrs. Witty's book makes us long for a weekend invitation to her home . . . to eat breakfast, lunch, and dinner at least twice. Filled with Helen's wit, warmth, charm-and flavor combinations-this book will bring us all back to our kitchens with fresh ideas for our favorite dishes." -JULEE ROSSO AND SHEILA LUKINS, authors of The New Basics Cookbook

Shipping Terms

SALES TAX: The AbeBooks checkout system cannot detect when California sales tax must be added to your purchase price. As a bona fide California reseller, if we are shipping to a point within the state of California, we are required to collect state sales tax. After confirming availability, we will instruct AbeBooks to request your approval of the sales tax necessary based on the selling price of your purchase. SHIPPING CHARGES: Please note that about 13.5% of the shipping and handling charge is retained by AbeBooks as a fee levied against the bookseller and not passed along for purchasing postage and packaging supplies. That is much of the reason why the shipping charge is significantly higher than actual postage costs. This is especially true for international shipping where international postal costs are high to begin with. Occasionally (such as when ordering a set of books, it will be necessary for us to ask domestic buyers for some additional shipping funds. In this case, after confirming your book(s) is available, we will ask AbeBooks to request appropriate additional shipping charges. In practice, this is a rare occurrence on domestic orders. See below for international shipping. PACKING: All books will be carefully packed to insure safe arrival. We use either quality shipping boxes or other shipping containers augmented by bubble, paper cushioning, or cardboard chipboard to insure safe delivery in the same condition as book was sent. INTERNATIONAL ORDERS: Our default shipping cost is for shipping in a flat rate global priority envelope, small box, or flat rate bag. If your book is too large or too expensive to ship in these containers we will be asking AbeBooks to request adequate additional funds so we can ship your book safely and securely. All international shipments will be listed as books-merchandise on customs forms with value as actual invoice cost. No exceptions. If you have any concerns, please contact us via e mail prior to placing an order for an accurate shipping quotation.
