Red Hat Society Cookbook or Raw

Red Hat Society Cookbook

Author: The Red Hat Society

"Life is short; eat dessert first," says Sue Ellen Cooper, Exalted Queen Mother of the Red Hat Society, which is the most fun phenomenon to happen to women over 50 in this century. And so this cookbook has more than 250 desserts at the beginning of a collection of more than 1,000 recipes. Red Hat editors selected the best recipes, stories, and photographs submitted by members from all over the world.

Library Journal

The Red Hat Society, which aims to "greet middle age with verve, humor, and lan," has thousands of chapters around the world and more than a million members. Their new book is essentially a community cookbook, with recipes and anecdotes contributed by hundreds of members. It opens with more than 250 recipes for cakes, pies, cookies, and more, then moves on to "Everything Else." Recipes are mostly simple (often relying on convenience foods), homey, and somewhat old-fashioned; the stories about cooking disasters, successes, and other such topics are fun to read. Sure to be in great demand, this is recommended for most collections. Copyright 2006 Reed Business Information.
