Newspaper Cookbooks: Day 3

Another of my favorite newspaper cookbooks was edited by Milwaukee Journal Food Editor Peggy Daum: The Best Cook on the Block Cook Book.

It is full of selected recipes from the “Best Cook on the Block” series that ran in the Journal from October 1977 through September 1978.

In the introduction to the cookbook, Daum wrote:
“Milwaukee – with its strong ethnic tradition – is known for the good food of its restaurants. But that’s only part of the good food in this area. Some of the best meals are served in the homes, where the tradition of good food fosters a tradition of good cooks.”
