Recipes are easily searchable, and users can upload photos and recipe comments and suggestions that will be shared to all users, just like your grandmas scribbles in the margins of the family cookbook. Enjoy the convenience of traditional recipes through mobile technology. You can easily search recipes and ingredients; add notes and commments to recipes, photos, and stories; upload your own pictures to the recipes; take a virtual tour of Waterloo Region; and watch video tributes to Edna Staebler. The app is available free for a limited time on iTunes. ABOUT THE BOOK In the 1960s, Edna Staebler moved in with an Old Order Mennonite family to absorb their oral history and learn about Mennonite culture and cooking. From this fieldwork came the cookbook Food That Really Schmecks. Originally published in 1968, Schmecks instantly became a classic, selling tens of thousands of copies. Interspersed with practical and memorable recipes are Staeblers stories and anecdotes about cooking, Mennonites, her family, and Waterloo Region. Described by Edith Fowke as folklore literature, Staeblers cookbooks have earned her national acclaim. Including this long-anticipated reprint of Food That Really Schmecks in our Life Writing series recognizes the cultural value of its narratives, positing it as a groundbreaking book in the food writing genre. This edition includes a foreword by award-winning author Wayson Choy and a new introduction by the well-known food writer Rose Murray.

My first Christmas with my husband (boyfriend at the time), his mom gave me this book. It is a to their family what the Joy of Cooking is to many. All the women in the family own a copy. It was a very lovely and welcoming gift. Good home cooking recipes, peppered with even better stories.

LeahBergen I married one of them, too. 😉 7y

I 💜 #cookbooks ! I read them like novels and use them for inspiration but only rarely do I cook from them. I find them at used book stores and garage sales and buy the ones that catch my eye. #cookbooklove #photoadaynov16
