| Publisher's Note | |
| A Midwest Gardener's Cookbook, the product of 50 years of cookery according to seasonal principles, offers recipes using 94 locally grown fruits, vegetables, and herbs (including wild crops such as mulberries, pawpaws, and violets) at the peak of their flavor and freshness. Take this book with you as you stroll through the local farmer's market, or consult it after bringing in the harvest from your own garden. If it's spring and the mint is up, what could be more delicious than a Yogurt-Mint Marinade for shish kebab, or a dish of Minted Citrus Carrots? For the summer, you'll find unusual and tasty recipes for everything from blueberries to zucchini. In autumn, make Towne's easy and inexpensive Apple Coffee Cake, or stir up a batch of her Mennonite-style Apple Butter. In the section for winter, you'll find ideas for kale, leeks, and other winter vegetables, hints for growing herbs indoors, and much more. | |
| Industry reviews | |
| Divided into four parts corresponding to seasonal harvest times, Towne's book reminds readers that knowledge of seasonal cooking was not invented in California. Towne (Bread of Life) offers recipes for 94 fruits, vegetables and herbs. Sprinkled throughout are prefaces about each fruit or vegetable. Towne's hints for gardening, shopping and storing often make good horticultural sense and display a homey ingenuity: nasturtiums should be planted near tomatoes; vidalias can be stored in pantyhose in the basement. Among the best recipes are Fresh Apple Fritters and Grape Sauce for Fowl. Cream, sour cream, cheddar and, occasionally, Velveeta (one wonders what the natural season for that is) are used liberally. Although the book is well-organized and offers interesting gardening facts (including a section on starting seedlings), recipes like the prosaic Rhubarb-Strawberry Molded Salad and Curried Creamed Radishes are unlikely to inspire readers to reorganize their gardens.
