Fried Green Tomatoes...... and so much more! Marilyn Kluger grew up in rural southern Indiana in the early 1930's. Most of that growing up took place in the country kitchens of her mother and her grandparents. The kitchen was the center of the house - a place to share the laughter and tears, the hopes and dreams of their lives - and it was where Mrs. Kluger watched and later helped her mother and grandmother cook, bake, and preserve. In The Midwestern Country Cookbook, she shares with us scores of those wonderful family recipes for pies, biscuits, cakes, breads, and gravies - good down-home country cooking from past generations. This book is no ordinary cookbook. Here Kluger spins delightful stories of country Christmases, Thanksgivings, and harvesting parties. |
The pages of the Midwestern Country Cookbook contain stories and recipes for lovers of Americana and authentic American cooking. Among the many mouth-watering, down-home recipes are:
| Applesauce Spice Cake Chicken Pot Pie Roast Goose Peach Upside-Down Cake Fried Green Tomatoes Mother's Wild Persimmon Pudding Vegetable Soup |
Blackberry Pie Grandma's Stuffed Mangos German Egg Dumplings Bread and Butter Pickles Fried Corn Potato Pancakes Scrapple |

Price: $24.95 (Hardback) |
"Kluger, a hobbyist forager, stalks wild foods
with a passion. Her odyssey is compelling. One discovery leads to another, mayapples and
grapes, lambs quarters (lettuce with a flavor similar to spinach) and dandelions greens,
pawpaws, black walnuts, elderberries, hickory nuts, and so on. For the brave palate and
curious cook, people like Kluger influence what we see on restaurant menus."--Chicago
Tribune "Enticingly written, charmingly illustrated, and pleasant
reading." "A book as rich as a Christmas pudding to be dipped into and savored from one
season to the next." |
- Wild foods lend new sparkle to
familiar dishes, and in this classic cookbook, Marilyn Kluger offers a feast for both
gourmet cooks and nature lovers. Innovative recipes like Rainbow Trout with Sorrel Butter,
Maple Barbecue Spareribs, and Chanterelles and Eggplant Casserole are complemented by
traditional American recipes such as Blackberry Jam Cake, Kentucky Stack Cake, and
Blueberry Buckle.
Creative chefs and adventuresome home cooks are discovering new ways to use flowers and wild foods in cooking. With the reprinting of The Wild Flavor, Marilyn Kluger is in the vanguard of the rediscovery of the joys of cooking with nature's wild bounty.
