Opis

"As the Under Secretary of Agriculture I was responsible for the purchase of cranberries for USDA's school lunch program. After observing Liz's cooking class on cranberries, I was amazed at how versatile and delicious cranberries can be when prepared with flair and imagination." -Michael V. Dunn, former under secretary, United States Department of Agriculture "It is a real pleasure to read a cookbook that combines excellent food history with good home cooking. The team of Liz Clark and James Baker could not make for a happier combination of talents. Baker, the historian, leads us through the tradition-rich mythology of the American cranberry while Clark serves it up in the most taste-tempting recipes. The pork terrene with figs and cranberries is certain to win friends." -William Woys Weaver, food historian and contributing editor, Gourmet About the Authors: Liz Clark was born and raised on a farm at the juncture of the Des Moines and Mississippi Rivers in Southeast Iowa.
