All this takes me back to my grandma’s kitchen and her simple yet delicious meals. Roast beef was always a hit as were creamed vegetables, boiled potatoes and crispy sugar cookies.

The cookbook team at the Pilgrim Congregational United Church of Christ in Benson dedicates their new cookbook, “Pilgrim’s Pantry,” to all those who baked, cooked, served, tasted and, yes, even washed dishes since 1876.
