Title: Disappointing
Review: I ordered this book along with "Food from the Heartland" and "Cooking from Quilt Country". What I was after was traditional, homey foods from the Midwest. The other two books hit the mark, this one didn't at all. I suppose I should have read closer the editorial reviews on Amazon; reading it now I see that they definitely give me the sense that this is a book of recipes perhaps INSPIRED by traditional Midwestern cooking, not traditional Midwestern cooking in actuality, especially rural or farm folk. The author may be a native Midwesterner but she's definitely written a cookbook for the north shore ladies of Chicago, not for those who are looking for traditional, down-home Midwestern food. Check out the other two books I mentioned. They're great!
