This recipe comes from one my favorite, reliable, home cooking cookbooks by Marion Burros, Cooking for Comfort. One of our very first cookbook events in the shop a long time ago, Ms Burros came, spoke and signed books launching this cookbook. These recipes are tried and true and the ones you can trust to make the foods we grow up with.
