An updated edition of a bestselling book in the food writing genre from award-winning author and journalist Edna Staebler. In the 1960s, Edna Staebler moved in with an Old Order Mennonite family to absorb their oral history and learn about Mennonite culture and cooking.

From this fieldwork came the cookbook Food That Really Schmecks. Originally published in 1968, Food That Really Schmecks instantly became a classic, selling tens of thousands of copies. Interspersed with practical and memorable recipes are Staebler's stories and anecdotes about cooking, life with the Mennonites, family, and the Waterloo Region. Described by Edith Fowke as folklore literature, Staebler's cookbooks have earned her national acclaim.

Back in print as part of Wilfrid Laurier University Press's Life Writing series, a series devoted celebrating life writing as both genre and critical practice, the updated edition of this groundbreaking book includes a foreword by award-winning author Wayson Choy and a new introduction by well-known food writer Rose Murray.

Warm, Comfortable, and Great Value!!
Material Type: Recycled Polyester, Color: Black Red Buffalo Check, Size: Medium
This fleece is cozy and does a good job keeping warm in cold weather. The material is soft, the fit is comfortable, and it layers well over a shirt. Not heavy-duty outerwear, but perfect for everyday wear and great quality for the price.

Thick and Warm, but not too comfy
Material Type: Recycled Polyester, Color: Light Grey Heather, Size: Medium
These are great pullover 1/4 zip fleece sweaters. They are relatively thick and very warm, about twice as thick and stiff as the common Columbia fleece pullover. The fleece is very dense, almost like a jacket. Pros: - Quite thick and warm, almost too warm - Good fitting cut (doesn't bulge in the wrong places) - Good value for the price - Lots of different color choices Cons - Quite thick - a bit stiff and not very stretchy (not great to sleep in, can be hard to put on or take off) - It has a seam running down the middle of the back. It doesn't bother me, but it would be better if it had no seam there. Overall recommended if you're looking for a thick/warm fleece sweater of decent quality, without spending much money.

Awesome.
Material Type: Recycled Polyester, Color: Light Grey Heather, Size: X-Large
Fleece jacket is nothing short of awesome. I picked up a few over the years and always been pleased with them. Worn to work, for casual wear, And now that i'm retired just around the house to keep warm. They wear well, Wash well, Hold their shape stitching and zippers. Watching their price I scored this win for twelve dollars and sixty cents. They lend themselves well to layering as well. A real value in this day and age. Very true to size very comfortable.

So Soft and Warm
Material Type: Recycled Polyester, Color: Black, Size: Small
Great quality fleece for the price. It’s soft, warm, and fits true to size without feeling bulky. The quarter-zip design makes it easy to layer, and it looks nice enough for everyday wear. I’d definitely buy this again.

Good Value!
Material Type: Recycled Polyester, Color: Blue Heather, Size: XX-Large
I bought one of these jackets a few years ago it is fairly thick and is great for outdoor wear. This new one is thinner material by quite a bit, but still well made. I like the zippered pockets. It is fuzzy and comfortable. Might even buy a third one in a different color!
