The Yellow Farmhouse Cookbook
By Christopher Kimball
Little, Brown and Company - 1998
If you are familiar with America's Test Kitchen or with Cook's Illustrated Magazine, you will be at home with this book which uses their techniques of testing, testing and then pronouncing that this is the very best version - and often it is.
The goal of this book is to take old recipes and update them a bit but keep the simplicity - home cooking at its best. And there are some excellent recipes. It doesn't reach Julia's level in butter and cream, these are generally not recipes you would seek out if you were cutting back.
