Willa Cather loved the arts of the kitchen and the pleasures of the table. In both her life and work, she maintained a lifelong commitment to good cooking as a source of nourishment- both physical and intellectual- and of pleasure. At Willa Cather's Tables lets you experience and enjoy (and cook!) recipes from her work, her family and friends, the places that were meaningful to her, and from the Cather Foundation and its loyal friends. This unique cookbook offers another way to explore the rich (and delicious) legacy of a great American writer.
