Editorial Reviews

Library Journal

A cooking columnist and author of three cookbooks, including the James Beard Cookbook Award and IACP Cookbook Award nominee Prairie Home Cooking (LJ 8/99), Fertig returns to the Midwest to explore its diverse bounty of breads. Opening with an overview of bread-baking tips and techniques, she devotes separate chapters to various types of breads, including yeast, naturally leavened, whole-grain, and quick rising. Covering everything from Swedish Rye Bread to Raspberry-Almond Muffins, Fertig's collection of sweet and savory treats should please both those searching for a taste of the past and those who prefer something more modern. A few recipes for jams, preserves, and selected dishes that use bread as a main ingredient, such as bread puddings, are slipped in along with some wonderful short essays on topics such as quinces. Written with wit and a keen appreciation for her topic, Fertig's book is a culinary delight: a cookbook as much fun to read as it is to bake from. Highly recommended for all public libraries.

Meet the Author

Judith M. Fertig is a bestselling and award-winning cookbook author. She lives in Shawnee Mission, Kansas, where she develops recipes that celebrate the rich culinary traditions of the Heartland. A recognized authority on regional Midwestern cuisine and an experienced cookbook author and food writer, she has studied at the Cordon Bleu in London and La Varenne in Paris. Prairie Home Breads follows Fertig's definitive Prairie Home Cooking, a collection of recipes inspired by the abundant produce of the Midwestern states, including wild and heirloom fruits and vegetables, game, grains, and beef. The bestselling Prairie Home Cooking was a 1999 nominee for both the IACP Cookbook Award and the James Beard Book Award. Fertig is also the author of the award-winning Pure Prairie: Farm Fresh and Wildly Delicious Foods from the Prairie, as well as several books on barbeque with coauthor Karen Adler. In addition to these cookbooks, Fertig wrote the Great Plains chapter of the American version of Culinaria, a two-volume book on American culinary traditions. She is a contributor to numerous distinguished magazines and newspapers, including the New York Times, the London Sunday Times, the San Francisco Chronicle, Saveur, Santé, Country Living, and Country Home. Fertig was inspired to write the Prairie Home cookbooks while living in London. Although she had lived and traveled all over the Midwest, living abroad gave her a new perspective, revealing the Midwest as a region of culinary innovation, cultural diversity, and fresh and varied native foods and produce. Looking at this familiar region from a new perspective allowed Fertig to capture the honest wholesomeness of Midwestern cuisine in her cookbooks. To write Prairie Home Breads, Fertig visited Old World artisanal bakeries, farmhouse kitchens, rural church suppers, community bake sales, bustling urban ethnic bakeries, farmer's markets, and home kitchens throughout the Midwest. Fertig shares her considerable culinary expertise and her appreciation of the Midwestern kitchen in cooking classes and seminars and as a restaurant consultant.
