Reviews for Pork Chops and Applesauce

"Her (Cynthia Briggs) collection of recipes is a comfy and homey one-the recipes interspersed with stories and anecdotes about her friends and family. Interviews with Southwest cooks spice up the book (Pork Chops & Applesauce) Essentially these are all down-home recipes, designed to please a family's palate. The book is fun to read, as well, for its chatty, informal style."     ——Miriam Sagan, New Mexico Magazine USA
