Home Cooking with Trisha Yearwood: Stories and Recipes to Share with Family and Friends

Best Cookbook EVER !

I have owned ALOT of cookbooks over the years and this is the best one I have found that actually has EVERYDAY foods that are simple to prepare.
Trisha has really made this tennessee girl VERY HAPPY...
This book is DEFINATELY a staple in my library....
Trisha has brought REAL southern meals to these 2 books she has written they are real honest to goodness southern dishes and true to the point on how we ACTUALLY prepare our meals for our family and friends

I hope she does some more, if she does I will DEFINATELY be buying them.

Home Cooking with Trisha Yearwood

This is a really great cookbook for anyone who likes down-home, country cooking. It is easy-to-use, and the recipes are practical. The recipes are based on everyday meals, plus some foods for special occasions and outings. There is no need to make a special trip to the store for exotic ingredients, since nearly every recipe is made from the staples we all keep in our homes. At first, I was amused by the inclusion of a recipe for sweet tea, but honestly, this is the perfect blend, and I'm glad it was included! The book has a nice balance of recipes in each category, and was a nice follow-up to her first cookbook. I highly recommend it as a gift to the cooks in your life. It is a nice addition to the kitchen, and now a permanent fixture on my bookshelf.

Love this book!

This book is just as good as her first! Easy to follow! Great for people like me who hate to cook. First day I bought the book, I made one of the recipes. Four days later, I made two of the recipes. All three were delicious!! Have had the pleasure of speaking with Trisha's mom. She even sent me a recipe that I made two days later. EASY, EASY AND DELICIOUS!!

Home Cooking with Trisha Yearwood

I like cookbooks a lot. This one I particularly like because it gives a different twist on some recipes I have used for a long time. The pictures and comment along with the recipes are interesting and very nice. Most all the recipes use items everyone has in their pantry or could easily obtain at any grocery and this too is a plus as well as the recipe directions are easy to understand and follow. The recipes I have never seen or tried also seem easy to understand and do-able. In my opinion, anyone looking for a good cookbook as a gift or addition to your own collection would be wise to choose this.

This is a " fun and make me want to cook and entertain cookbook".

OMG!!!! I saw Trisha on The View and knew I had to check out this cookbook. I went to Barnes and Noble and had a Starbucks coffee with a friend. I flipped through the cookbook and knew instantly that I had to buy it. My friend looked at it and bought it too(and she doesn't even cook much) I made two recipes within the first few days that I had the book and can't wait to try some more. I love her additional comments that she adds, especially those about Garth. It is a very entertaining book and I really enjoy the pictures of family and the stories behind the recipes. Thanks so much for a great book.

Beautiful pictures, good organization, delicious food

Easy to use, designed for those of us who love good rich food. I heard Tricia answer a question "if I'm on a diet what do you recommend" answer - another cookbook. Full of rich, decadent, delicious food

You can start "cooking with Trisha" as soon as you get this cookbook home!

Trisha Yearwood is my kind of entertainer: A down to Earth, everyday person who makes everyone feel comfortable. I knew I would love this cookbook, and I do! Like I said, as soon as I brought my cookbook home, I started reading it and deciding what I would try first (which was a hard choice, all the recipes and pictures looked so inviting). Well, I settled on the Old-Fashioned Strawberry Shortcake on page 164. It was just like my Mom used to make. Like Trisha said in the paragraph before the recipe, it is a wonderful "mix of the not-so-sweet biscuit with the sweetness of the strawberries and the whipped cream". I then moved on to the Chicken Pizza on page 102 (yummy!) and then Asparagus Bundles on page 127. My husband and I never knew we loved asparagus until this recipe. I don't know what I will try next but I know eventually I will have made every recipe in this book. I'm confident we will love them all!

Great Mother's Day Gift

I bought this book for my mom for Mother's Day because we saw it on The View and she just HAD to have it! I gave it to her a few days early because I just couldn't wait; she absolutely died when I gave it to her! She's already made a few of the recipes from the book, and they are really delicious. She has Trisha's first cookbook, which she uses religiously, but I'd say the ones from "Home Cooking" are a fresh take on Southern cooking. Definitely A+ material, Mrs. Yearwood!

I love this cookbook and the illustrations are beautiful

I've made the Apple Cake, the biscuits and the spagetti so far and my family loved all 3. I would have never thought to put bacon in my spagetti, but it really enhances the flavor.

Good "Down Home" Recipes

Each summer my family would load up the old Ford station wagon and make our journey South from Indiana to Alabama for our annual summer trip. Summers at grandma's house was always filled with a lot of family and a lot of food. So as I dig into Home Cooking with Trisha Yearwood I appreciate it even more having a knowledge of what it's like to experience good ole' down home cooking where a meal is so much more than just a meal. As I read the back cover of Trisha's book I couldn't agree more: "I have always associated good food with really good company. If you're with people you love, and you're having fun and enjoying life, great food is almost like another guest at the table".

So, if you haven't experienced "sweet tea" (page 54) which, if you've never had sweet tea in the south you haven't truly experienced "sweet tea", a "low-country crab boil" (page 110) or a true "southern red velvet cake" (page 172), I highly recommend that you pick up a copy of Home Cooking with Trisha Yearwood and sit down with it, enjoy it's illustrations, stories and, of course, get cookin' ya'll!!

Treasuretrove of great receipes inside!!!

This second book of receipes is amazing! I loved her first book but find that this second book is even better. I have used several of the receipes and have loved each one. She doesn't use expense ingredients which with the economy being what it is these days is a blessing. Each dish tasts wonderful and they are easy to prepare which is wonderful.

I bought this book because the ladies of the View seemed to love the food

I have only done a few of the recipes but every one I have done the portions have been out of control. Uncle Wilson's Stuffed Green Peppers calls for 6 bell peppers halved and stuffed with filling. I filled the six(12 halves) and still had tons of filling left. We ate on it for days!. Last night I made the baked spaghetti-used 5 different pots, kitchen was a mess and it wouldn't fit in a single pot- had to use 2 baking dishes to get it all baked! My family found the peppers rather bland so with the baked spaghetti I used sharp cheddar cheese, added some salt and pepper and used the diced tomatoes that have spices added already. It came out much better. The directions are easy and the ingredients are easy to find so it is good for beginners. The pictures are absolutely beautiful!

Good cookbook

I thought this was a good cookbook, better than her first one. The recipes are easy to follow & quite good. Being a mom of 3 I look for recipes that are quick & easy to prepare, but don't sacrifice on taste. Her recipes were all of the above, and the whole family ate them!

Beautiful book!

I love cookbooks and after looking through this one I am very excited to get started. Love the pictures also.

I really am enjoying the Trisha Yearwood Cookbook

I purchased this cookbook after deciding I needed some new ideas for snacks and meals. I saw Trisha Yearwood on the "View" promoting her new cookbook and thought "Wow that food looks really good". I am a big country music fan, but now I am a big fan of the Trisha Yearwood cookbook as well. The recipes in the cookbook are all well described and most of them are not very difficult. I do not consider myself a master chef, however, I do like to try new things but will often not try a lot of new recipes if they appear too difficult and or too time consuming and these recipes are neither. There are great little pictures in the book as well as side stories that go along with the recipes. I have already tried numerous recipes in the book and have only had it for about one month. The hot corn dip was a huge hit when I took it to a cookout. The hot corn dip has to be one of my favorites so far along with the stuffed bellpeppers and the strawberry cake was a huge hit as well when I had friends over to my apartment. They were very impressed especially considering I am not known to cook a great deal. I would recommend this cookbook to anyone.

wonderful foods

This book is so good for all level of cooks My husband and I cooked several of the recipes the same day we bought it they were all easy to fix and the taste is memorable I definitly would recommend this recipe book as I have to several people who have tasted the results

Any cook would enjoy this. From amateur to expert.

Filled with great recipes and beautiful illustrations. I haven't tried many of the recipes -- Don't look for any low-fat here, just enjoy! Real down home comfort food -- What's not to like? Fun to read.

Great food! Great cookbook!

So, so glad that I bought this cookbook. The recipes are very easy to follow and the food is delicious. Trisha has put together, with her family, wonderful treats for us to taste. She has made every recipe easy to follow. She has also added such sweet family snipets for most recipes to explain where the recipes have come from. Thank you Trisha & family for sharing!!!
