Tucson Granny’s Comfort Foods: Recipes from the Desert Rat Cafe Cooking Club
by Katherine Rambo
Covering quick breads, salads, "savories," yams and sweet potatoes, deserts and beverages, these quick and easy recipes for light meals, parties, game days, hot weather and the occasional snow day are not meant to be "healthy." They're meant to make people happy. Some recipes are over 100 years old.

All the recipes have been updated, but modern cooks are still given the opportunity to experiment and make changes according to taste.
