The Mamaw Book by Verna Sizemore
A $29 instant-PDF cookbook preserving 120 recipes from a Perry County, Kentucky kitchen, including the unmeasured instincts behind them.
Field notes
The cookbook divides its material according to the work of the kitchen rather than conventional meal courses: skillet cooking, bread, making do, preserving, and food for company or mourning. Its distinctive instructional device places ordinary measurements beside sensory tests for dough, grease, gravy, and oven heat. The page identifies 120 recipes across 176 pages, including preservation methods, and offers the complete book as a $29 instant PDF with a stated seven-day money-back policy.
