Christopher Kimball, editor and founder of Cook's Illustrated magazine, grew up during the 1950s in rural Vermont, where he spent many summers working as a farmhand. His most cherished memories were of the yellow farmhouse, where an eclectic gathering of workers met at noon for hearty meals of roast, potatoes, boiled greens, baking-powder biscuits, molasses cookies, and perhaps a pie.
Kimball's memories of this time make for a book that is as good to read as it is to cook from. Kimball has painstakingly tried and tested hundreds of recipes for those childhood roasts, cookies, apple pies, and other nurturing farmhouse delights.
Within each chapter, memories, recipes, and cooking techniques effortlessly roll into one another.
American Baked Custard, several tapioca puddings, chocolate mousses, and cream pies.
All adhere to the book's main premise: simple cooking with basic ingredients. Other chapters are solely devoted to meat, vegetables, baking, breakfast, cookies, fruit, and preserving, as well as a buying guide for purchasing the best cookware and kitchen tools.
Capturing "the spirit of farmhouse cooking, using simple ingredients simply prepared.
