Customer Reviews

Colonel Masters is the BEST!

I bought this cookbook in a Kentucky State Park. Later, I discovered that he and my husband are related through the Boones. Colonel Masters' recipes are very easy and quite tasty. I made the caterers at my wedding follow his instructions, so I could have a traditional Southern wedding.

Hospitality as it was meant to be

This week, I returned home to the Bluegrass for a spot of Thoroughbred racing and attending horse shows. I wanted a receipe of the famous Kentucky Hot Brown and was purusing a book store where I found Col. Masters book. I was disappointed that he did not include the Hot Brown in his book, but found many other useful receipes. What is also included in this wonderous little book his is thougths on the life of a true gentleman. Hosting your family and friends for food and libation is a tradition that has been seemingly lost in our fast paced world of today. The good Colonel reiminds us that not only is it fun to do, but it restores a certain dignity to the soul. His receipes are simple and not hard to do, so that once your guests have arrived, you have time to share a bourbon and enjoy their company before enjoying the repast. My lady friend and I can't wait to put together a little dinner for our guests this summer, using the Colonel's book. Some hot summer Saturday evening, a pitcher of mint juelips, ice tea so sweet it makes your teeth hurt, beef tenderloin and good friends. Here's to you Colonel Masters!
