In her own words, the book is a "bright, happy collection of recipes and Grinders Switchery." In the Preface to this cookbook, Minnie pearl exclaims; "Howdeeee! Food has always represented fun for me. There were five daughters in our family, and we enjoyed all of our meals together - no TV trays in those days! And mealtime was fun. We stuck biscuits on our forks and walked them toward each other as "Lady come to see" on the tablecloth, and nobody corrected us. We told funny stories and screamed with laughter, and nobody told us to hush. Mealtime was "tell time" and "enjoy time." Mama and Daddy always said it helped digestion to laugh as you ate, and we did... Ever since I became two people, Minnie Pearl and Sarah Ophelia Cannon, I've been faced with the problem of when to be Minnie and when to be Sarah Ophelia. In creating this book I've decided to be both... I do hope you will enjoy these recipes. Think of me as you prepare them - and as you serve them - and have fun! Imagine I am there with you saying, 'Howdeeee! I'm Jest so proud to be here.'" The dust jacket has some wear and a little bit of tearing. The book cover has some dirt marks on it. Flipping through the book I notice no writing on the inside pages. Please see photos and ask questions before purchasing this cookbook.
