Book Reviews of Heirloom Baking with the Brass Sisters: More than 100 Years of Recipes Discovered from Family Cookbooks, Original Journals, Scraps of Paper, and Grandmothers Kitchen
Book Review: Marilynn and Sheila are to Die for
Summary: 5 Stars
My mother gave me Heirloom Baking with the Brass Sisters for Christmas last year and I just loved it, loved the lay out, love the recipes (a note here, I'm a five day a week dieter and healthy eater, but on Saturday and Sunday I throw caution out the window and eat what I want and I've gone to the Brass sisters several weekends in a row during the last year).
Because I loved their last cookbook so much, I was really looking forward to this one and I have to say I was not disappointed, but then I knew I was just going to love it and I surely do. As with their last book, everything in this one is perfect and perfectly presented, from the well laid out recipes to the photos of the delicious food. You can't go wrong with the Brass Sisters, you really can't.

Summary of Heirloom Baking with the Brass Sisters: More than 100 Years of Recipes Discovered from Family Cookbooks, Original Journals, Scraps of Paper, and Grandmothers Kitchen
FINALIST FOR A JAMES BEARD AWARD IN THE BAKING/DESSERT CATEGORYWe all have fond memories of a favorite dessert our grandmother or mother used to bake. It's these dishes that give us comfort in times of stress, help us celebrate special occasions, and remind us of the person who used to bake for us those many years ago.
In Heirloom Baking, Marilynn Brass and Sheila Brass preserve and update 150 of these beloved desserts. The recipes are taken from their vast collection of antique manuscript cookbooks, handwritten recipes passed down through the generations that they've amassed over twenty years. The recipes range from the late 1800s to today, and come from a variety of ethnicities and regions. The book features such down-home and delicious recipes as Brandied Raisin Teacakes, Cuban Flan, Cranberry-Orange Cream Scones, Chattanooga Chocolate Peanut Butter Bars, and many more. Accompanying the recipes are stories from the lives of the families from which they came.
The Brass Sisters have taken care to update every recipe for today's modern kitchens. More than 150 photographs showcase the scrumptious food in full-color detail. Finally, the Brass sisters encourage each reader to begin collecting his or her own family recipes in the lined pages and envelope at the back of the book.
