Oooh! It's like a cozy little old lady mystery, distilled and reduced until all that's left are the recipes, the flowered wallpaper and, of course, the little old ladies. This adorable little hardcover is filled with photos of real-life grannies along with their favourite recipes and nuggets of practical advice, such as, "Don't wear dark lipstick. When it shows up on a man's collar people will know it's yours" and "Use old pantyhose to store onions." Whether you're craving a Golden Girls fix and your DVD player is broken, or you're looking for ideas for what to do with that can of cream of celery soup in your cupboard, you can't go wrong with Little Old Lady Recipes.
