Lost Suppers
We asked home cooks across America to submit their favorite old-fashioned recipes and the memories they evoke, and received more than 1000 entries. The theme that emerged from these entries was that of learning to cook alongside family. While we chose five recipes as prize-winners, we were so impressed with the recipes and stories that we published more than 100 of them in Cook's Country Best Lost Suppers, available in bookstores and our online bookstore at CooksCountry.com.
