Jo Laursen's Famous Recipes Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I am kind of bias towards this book being that this is my Mom's recipes but what a wonderful tribute to my Mom! I had a wonderful childhood growing up with many of these recipies on our family table at night for dinner. My Mom was a true Italian cook with a "pinch" of this and a "splash" of that always trying to perfect a recipe but my Dad did his best in putting those measurements into written form. My father put this together in honor of my Mom since she always wanted to write a cookbook but never had a chance to when she passed away unexpectedly. These recipies are some of my favorite things my Mom would make for our family and in our restaurant growing up in Sacramento, CA.
I hope you enjoy these as much as I still do. They were all made with much love and I hope you do the same with them.

This cookbook is dedicated in memory of my wife Jo (Josephine) Cardillo Laursen.She became the family cook at age 12 and consequently her love to create and cook various American and ethnic dishes evolved.This cookbook has over 450 recipes created and accumulated from Jo's own creative ability, friends and other sources.Jo has a 360 cookbook library, plus her original and modified recipes.She had a unique talent to blend spices so the recipes tasted better.The recipes in this cookbook are all recipes Jo created/modified over many years, including award winning cakes and recipes designed for the working woman.There are many stories about Jo's cooking capability but the proof is not in the stories but rather you making the recipes and being the judge.Jo always wanted to create her own cookbook and helped create cookbooks for Clipped Wings (former United Airline stewardesses).It is in memory of Jo and her unique cooking talent that this cookbook is shared with you.
