Eater's Digest: 400 Delectable Readings about Food and Drink
By Lorraine Bodger

Americans are as crazy about food as they are about trivia, and Eater's Digest is a deliciously unique and playful book that addresses both of these passions with a practical and quirky array of flavorful folklore and facts. Have you ever wondered what astronauts dine on in space or how Sumo wrestlers achieve their beefy physiques? Do you know the 10 best Web sites for buying kitchen supplies, the 8 most hated kitchen chores, the 5 hottest peppers, or 15 fun and fascinating food web sites (Nana's Recipes is in this list!)?

Eater's Digest is filled with fascinating and hilarious tidbits to savor and share. Readers are sure to find it the most fun they can have without ever gaining a pound. Lorraine Bodger is an award-winning author and illustrator of 11 cookbooks and 7 books of lists. The book was published in April 2006. Order Eater's Digest from Amazon.

The Sacramento Bee (California's 3rd largest newspaper) ran a feature story about Nana's Recipes in their Wednesday, February 5th, 2003 food section.

Nana gives a big 'thank you' to Sacramento Bee Food Editor, Gwen Schoen.

I fell in love with Nana as soon as I saw her picture. After browsing her site, I loved her more! OMG! Recipes to die for, tips and tricks to pass down through generations and an awesome collection of dessert recipes ... what more could a person forced to cook ask for? ;-)

On Nana's main dish pages, you will find recipes for Hash Brown Pizza, Spaghetti Pie, Pasta and Shrimp Alfredo and many more traditional recipes such as Baked Pork Chops, Stuffed Chicken Breasts and Batter-Dipped Chicken. All Nana's recipes are easy to understand with comprehensive lists of ingredients.

On the dessert pages, there are cake recipes separated into "chocolate and not," some super cookie recipes, pie recipes and a candy page with nary a mention of a candy thermometer. I like that in a candy recipe!

Some of the more challenging recipes have links to Nana's "How To" page that will give you detailed instructions and pictures. Betty Crocker has nothing on Nana!

Bon Appetit!

Visiting Nana's is a special treat. This is a general cooking site with lots of recipes for everyday cooking. The recipes use basic everyday ingredients to create exciting meals. The Pretzel Salad, which calls for Cool Whip, strawberries, and of course pretzels, is far from the everyday salad!

I found the Hash Brown Pizza a very interesting way to serve hash browns, as the potatoes are used as the crust and all your favorites get piled on top. This is a recipe that can be used for breakfast, lunch, and dinner! The Baked Potato soup sounds like a great way to make potato soup and a good way to get rid of leftover baked potatoes.

Whatever your everyday favorites are, you will probably find a creative new way to serve them by visiting this site.
