Media reviews

"Karyl Bannister's book gives me recipes I want, practical tips I need, and stories that connect me with the larger community of real, everyday cooks." - Pam Anderson

"Cook and Tell contains a bounty of honest recipes for dishes real people like to prepare for friends and family.  Beyond good things to eat, it contains a fetching group portrait of America’s true foodies – not trend-setters or celebrity chefs, but real people who worry about making tender pork chops for supper and moist chocolate cake for birthday parties." - Jane and Michael Stern

"Cook & Tell features simple and very good recipes, food I would like to eat, with an occasional burst of genius." — Jasper White

"The creative recipes and passionate foodie dialogue in Karyl Bannister's Cook & Tell are like a window on the soul of American home cooking." — Gene Burns, host "Dining Around" KGO Radio, San Francisco

"Cook & Tell is a chatty 20-year-old newsletter written and illustrated by Karyl Bannister. Now it's also a cookbook (Houghton Mifflin, $22). Bannister and her subscribers aren't afraid of prepared foods, such as Bisquick and readymade pie crust, they love frying, sugar, and cheese. Everything has a warm, neighborly quality." - Sheryl Julian Boston Globe

For genuine contemporary American home cooking, one need look no further than Bannister's Cook & Tell.
