The Hugh Smith Family Cookbook:  From Generations Past to Present is the type of cookbook filled with the "secret" keeper recipes often found in church cookbooks or family recipe files as often this is where the treasured family recipes are shared. Thankfully, the Hugh family decided to share their "secret" family recipes and their family history. Not only does this cookbook have the best recipes, it is delightfully written when it comes to telling about family members. While I have never met any of people involved, by the end of the book I was wanting to read more about each family member.Some of the treasured family recipes you will find in this cookbook (and there are more that I've bookmarked to try later) include:Cream Cheese Stuffed MushroomsHomemade KahluaDelicious Almond TeaTaco SoupHeavenly SaladAngel BiscuitsBest Mexican Spoon BreadNutella Rolls with Cream Cheese IcingBroccoli Cheese Casserole aka "Green Rice"Corn CasseroleBeef EnchiladasChicken EnchildasEasy Garlic ChickenHoney-Lime Chicken SkewersQuick Tamale ChiliAunt Alice's Peach CobblerChocolate Cocoa Cola CakeJefferson Davis PieLemon Velvet Ice CreamMexican SopapillasNo Bake Nutella CheesecakeVinegar PieFruited Oatmeal CookiesChristmas Crack (Terrific Toffee)Some non-food (craft) recipes found in this cookbook include:Pumpkin Spice Sugar ScrubBrown Sugar Honey ScrubBath SaltsChristmas Smell (directions for how to make a Christmas scented sachet)There are some heartwarming and humorous tidbits too such as:Preserved ChildrenA Happy Home RecipeThis is a feel good family cookbook that is well-written.Highly recommend.
