The Blue Ribbon Country Cookbook The New Standard of American Cooking

The "Blue Ribbon Country Cookbook" is much more than a cookbook -- it's a culinary epic, featuring recipes and techniques that are celebrated in the parts of our country where good cooking and eating is still a way of life, where people are connected to their food, whether it's through the corn they grow, the herbs they tend in their backyard gardens, or the fruit they carefully preserve. Author DianeRroupe, winner of 99 country fair ribbons and a respected judge at the prestigious Iowa State Fair, has spent the last decade compiling her own recipes, many of them prizewinners, and those of other state fair contestants to create the "Blue Ribbon Country Cookbook, " one of the most comprehensive American cookbooks of our time.
