4 stars, This chick can cook!

TRISHA'S KITCHEN by Trisha Yearwood

Trisha Yearwood has created a lovely cookbook, full of Southern cooking recipes. Some are the old recipes that you know and love and some are more New Age style recipes with a lot of the more modern ingredients and names. The forward is presented by her husband, fellow Country Music Superstar, Garth Brooks. All of their family members participated and contributed, along with a few special friends.

Of course, everyone knows there should be lots of Bacon! Bacon with its own recipes and recipes with bacon in them, probably every single bacon recipe is great.

I jotted down a donut recipe, called Buttermilk Yeasted Donuts. Trisha has them near her recipe for Galaxy Donuts. She mentions the fact that you can use premade donuts or use this recipe for donuts. I'm looking at donut recipes to find one that everyone in our family loves.

The cookbook is pleasing to the eye and has a full-color photograph for each recipe that is beautifully presented in a tasteful setting.

Thankfully, I received a complimentary copy of #trishaskitchen from #netgalley #marinerbooks @marinerbooks @trishayearwood #trishayearwood #garthbrooks @garthbrooks I was under no obligation to post a review.

This is a good cookbook! I like the stories she relates about her family. The photos of her grandmother, parents and sisters are great additions to the recipes and the story that accompanies them. The apple pie recipe is certainly on my list of things to make from this book.

There are healthy options for the traditional southern food such as oven fried chicken instead of frying in oil. Lots of tips and established recipes you will love. I also like the fact that the ingredients for recipes are not hard to find. A typical trip to the grocery store, nothing fancy, easy to make dishes. The short list of recipes I want to try soon are maple salmon, apple pie, the steak with the honey marinade………drool worthy chow here!

A nice tribute to her upbringing and the food that helped make memories. I would be proud to write a cookbook like this one.

This is basically your standard-issue celebrity cookbook with lots of photographs included of the author and her family. I found a good recipe in the book that I will probably make again so I considered it worthwhile. I would not buy it, but I enjoyed checking it out from the library.

This cookbook is amazing! Trisha and her family cook just like my family - many of the recipes were variations of things we have been making for years. It is a great "down home" cookbook!

Trisha Yearwood is one of my very favorite entertainers. Such an appealing personality, and a voice that just won't quit! This book is written in a warm personal style, and it offers great recipes and cooking advice and an up-close look at this talented and likeable country music superstar. Family, friends, food, and an interesting life all come together for a very satisfying read. The recipes range from familiar favorites like Meatloaf, Banana Pudding, Blackberry Cobbler, and Fried Chicken with Milk Gravy, to dishes with a different spin like Chicken Tortilla Soup, Sweet & Crunchy Garden Salad, and Pecan Pie Muffins. Making good food and good family memories is what this book is all about, and it will resonate with many of us whose happiest times involve cooking with family and friends.

Let me start by saying that I do not watch The View and I had no clue who Trisha Yearwood is until this book showed up on my doorstep. (I do recognize Garth Brooks - barely.) Take that for what it might be worth . . .

This is not a "bad" book and if you are looking specifically for a book of mid-20th century Southern recipes of the mainstream, rather ordinary sort, you might find this book of interest. More than a handful of these recipes have been in my own personal files for decades, either word for word or with only the most minor of variations, the kind of good, quick, old fashioned standbys that generations of cooks pass along. So, why did I give this 3 stars rather than 4 or 5? Simple -

* A good number of these recipes are straight out of the 1970s, cakes that include Jello as an ingredient as an example. Some of this is just strange - and still as strange in 2010 as it was in 1976.

* Far too many recipes call for self-rising flour. This is not problematic if you live in the South where self-rising flour is commonly used, but here in New England (and other areas of the country) self-rising flour is rarely used. When you can find it, it is often pushing the envelope of antiquity.

* Most of the recipes in the Sides chapter contain both mayonnaise and sour cream, usually with cheese. Make no mistake, this sort of casserole can be scrumptious, but they are absolutely NOT for the diet conscious. But then you will find little here that is.

Not stellar.

Nothing fancy about this cookin' book. Down home hearty recipes that are like the one's I grew up with. I do not normally buy cookbooks, but this one was irresistibly nostalgic.

As a fellow Southern belle, I'm quite surprised by how bland a lot of these recipes are. Quite a few of them I already have, only with more spices and more ingredients added to it. I tried out the sausage bites, and I'll never have them again as they were awful.

I'm am still willing to try out a few more, only I'll be beefing it up some.....
