About What's Cooking Good Looking

The creation of What’s Cooking Good Looking came from three basic sentiments: the heartache of losing my grandmother, the drive to collect her recipes before yet another holiday season passed, and lastly, the inspiration to create the cookbook I felt was missing from bookstore shelves. While vintage Americana, food nostalgia, and retro cookbooks may be the obvious inspirations, many of the practical choices were guided by small-press sensibilities, fundamental to the overall message I intended to convey in WCGL. These recipes span four generations. From the farmlands of Texas during the Great Depression to the 1970s dessert salad era of the Sunshine State to the 21st-century Pacific Northwest (and almost everywhere in between). 100 years of note cards mailed across state lines, gossip at potlucks, grocery checkout line magazines, celebrity cooking shows, internet printouts, and social media shares. From double boilers to microwave ovens, from four cups of sugar to gluten-free, it's all here. So come on, “let's go get a bite.”Read their story
