Revised American Gothic Cookbook

A revised edition of Penfield's popular American Gothic Cookbook, in the recipe-card-size format, includes artist Grant Wood's mother's recipe for stew, his housekeeper's recipe for salad dressing, and his own cabbage rolls. It is chock-full of Grant Wood lore and illustrations, both his whimsical Farm on the Hill illustrations and his evocative lithographs. One recipe for old-fashioned tomato soup runs on for seven pages; excuse him, but the cook is a Pulitzer Prize-winning writer, just making sure the saying gets said right. These are recipes for honest, hard-working, Midwestern fare, such as potato salad, whole-wheat bread, wild rice casserole, cooked peppers, apple butter, ham roll, and apple cake. There are lots of picnic dishes. Grant Wood loved a picnic.Joan Liffring-Zug Bourret is the author of 'Revised American Gothic Cookbook', published 2003 under ISBN 9781932043525 and ISBN 1932043527.
