Cather's Kitchens: Foodways in Literature and Life

by Roger L. Welsch and Linda K. Welsch

Book Overview

Roger and Linda Welsch matched references from Willa Cather's writing with recipes they collected from Cather family recipe files, from other period cookbooks, and from old-time ethnic cooks still living in the Bohemian tradition. Cather's Kitchens comes as close as possible to the precise recipes Cather had in mind and memory as she wrote.

Customer Reviews

Savor and increase the good

A better motive for literary criticism than to increase the appreciation of one part of the good, the part you can eat and drink, would be hard to imagine. And yet in Cather, good things to eat and drink, especially coffee, are subordinate to good conversation and friendship. Subordinate but conducive.
