connoisseurs across the Midwest. Emphasising the use of fresh,
nutritious ingredients without losing sight of the importance of a
good can of soup in the right bake-and-share meal, Burckhardt
balances delicious down-home selections like Texas Hash, Football
Stew, and Reuben Bake with such wholesome one-dish wonders as Whole
Grain Pilaf and Tian of Rice and Zucchini. You too can dine like
the stars with such dazzling feasts as Phoebe's Peach Noodle Kugel
from the childhood kitchen of comedian Al Franken and the Cedric
Adams Hot Dish, named after the late Broadcasting Hall of Famer
once known as the 'voice of the Upper Midwest'. Burckhardt gives us
the history of each dish, the classic variations, and ideas for
cooking and sharing in today's busy world.
'An honest and fascinating account of the journey that Tom made

research, Lose Weight 4 Life demonstrates that it is never too late
to turn things around, even if you are someone who has failed
umpteen times before.
