This wonderful cookbook has 150 recipes drawn from firehouses from all 50 states. It has everything from main courses, to side dishes, to desserts. My one complaint against this book is that is it organized by area, rather than course, but that's a very small complaint. In between, there are chapters on firefighting in America, firehouse cooks, and systems of cooking in firehouses.

Overall I thought that this was a fun book, with lots of great recipes. I really liked the Chicken and Dumplings from page 110 (of the 2001 hardbound edition), and the Coffee Cake from page 77. I highly recommend this wonderful cookbook!

This is "no frills" cooking at its best! If you're looking for regional, family recipes that are easy to prepare without compromising taste, this book is for you. All of the recipes were tested in the Better Homes & Gardens kitchen, and Kite cleverly gives us ingredient amounts for family-size or "firehouse" portions--no calculations needed while your hands are coated in flour. Recipes range from regional dishes like jambalya, enchiladas, chowder and spaghetti to meat loaf, banana pudding and one of my favorites, "Potato Dish from Truck Co. No. 2." This is not just a cookbook. As wife of a veteran fire training officer and firehouse chef, Kite weaves throughout, a brief history, quips and tales of firefighting and dedicates the book "to the honorable members of our society who keep watch over our lives and property every hour of every day--the firefighters."
