Book Reviews of Spam: The Cookbook

Book Review: An ideal gift for Spam loving friends and family
Summary: 4 Stars

The book is divided into six U.S. regions - including four Hawaiian Spam recipes! - with enough Spam recipes for any Spam lover's taste. I haven't tried them all, but I particularly liked the taste of the nostalgic "Original Spam Luncheon Meat" recipe (from Hormel Foods, the current and original producer of Spam) and the "Toasted Spam & Cheese Sandwich" recipe. Both bring back memories of growing up in Nebraska in the 1940s. New to me but especially tasty and satisfying was the "Spam & Georgia Peach Bake" from, of course, Georgia.

There's even a capsule history of Spam, with a timeline, tracing for us who are old enough to remember Spam's cozy, comfort-food marriage to Wonderbread and Victory Gardens of World War II.

At this price I plan to buy several to give as gifts for Christmas - or before. It's a little piece of Americana rolled into a perfect, stocking-stuffer sized book.
