America’s Favorite Cookbook Ladies
Discover Michigan’s Favorite Recipes!
Brandon, MS Back in 1996, cookbook editors Gwen McKee and Barbara Moseley set out to find the best food and recipes in Michigan and published the first Best of the Best from Michigan Cookbook which sold over 40,000 copies! Michigan had so much to offer the first time around that the cookbook ladies returned and have just released a completely new edition of Best of the Best from Michigan Cookbook: Selected Recipes from Michigan’s Favorite Cookbooks (Quail Ridge Press; 2008).
With more than 18,000 recipes from 60 of Michigan’s most popular cookbooks to choose from, McKee and Moseley spent countless hours carefully testing, editing, and selecting over 350 new recipes to include in this brand-new edition. Barbara Moseley said, “Recipes were chosen first and foremost on taste and had to be creative and uncomplicated for home cooks to prepare with easy-to-find ingredients”. From Lori's Easy Magic Shell Ice Cream Dessert, Grilled Zucchini Boats with Cheese, Oven-Fried Fish Sticks, Country Tomato Pie, and Cherry Cheese Brownie Bars, this cookbook is filled with ethnic treats and classic American comfort foods that are down-to-earth and downright delicious!
Michigan cookbooks that contributed to this new edition of Best of the Best from Michigan includes community and church cookbooks that rarely gain recognition beyond their own communities, as well as contributions by popular Junior League cookbooks, renowned chefs and restaurants. Many of these cookbooks have had limited print runs or are no longer available. Recording these “best” recipes before they are lost fulfills the editors’ mission to preserve America’s food heritage and the rich history of Michigan.
The new edition of Best of the Best from Michigan Cookbook is available at bookstores, kitchen and gift shops, online at www.quailridge.com, or by calling 1-800-343-1583.
