Summary: Typical local cookbook
Comment: This cookbook is pretty much exactly the same as any other charity cookbook you can get in any rural area. It's a collection of mostly country style recipes that were submitted by residents of Madison County, Iowa. Of course, the fascination with the bestselling novel "Bridges of Madison County" explains why this particular local cookbook was released nationally. As such, the cookbook is fine, and there are a number of stories included that some people might find interesting (again submitted by local residents).
The main fault of the cookbook is the lack of standardization across recipes, leading to recipes that are sometimes vague. For example, one recipe may call for "1 can of tomato juice," but not specify what size can to use. Many of the casserole recipes are especially vague; for example, indicating that one should "cook one chicken," but not explaining how the chicken should be cooked. This cookbook would probably make a nice gift for persons who like country style food and who already know quite a bit about how to cook in this manner. Others beware.

Summary: Fasinating
Comment: My daughter gave me this book & I in turn am buying it for 2 sister in laws...It is that good. The homespun stories in it are just as good as the recipes it has. I have done numerous recipes from this book & they have all been great!! My only problem with this book is I get sidetracked reading the stories...

The illustrations that are included give the book a folksy feeling. The short stories give us an insight into true family life. This cookbook is a must for anyone who likes to cook for the family. They are sure to enjoy the results!
