Good Food Simply Prepared is a different type of cookbook.

A collection of recipes from three generations of one family, each chapter has a story depicting the home values and traditions that have influenced the style of food prepared as family members became assimilated into American culture. Many of the recipes have been supplemented with an anecdote or story, and all recipes have been tested for accuracy.

"Good Food, Simply Prepared author Joan Styrna uses high quality ingredients, and the resulting thrilling recipes are unforgettable. A great resource for new cooks, as well as for accomplished chefs."

--Mike Satzow, President,
North Country Smokehouse
