Madison County Cookbook - St. Joseph's Church of Winterset, Iowa

Additional Details

Description: Now, the tastes and traditions of Madison County can be enjoyed by folks everywhere! Madison County, Iowa is more than its bridges, John Wayne's birthplace, and the site of Robert Waller's hugely popular novel and the movie starring Clint Eastwood and Meryl Streep. It is a unique place where the simple values of faith, family, and friends have not been forgotten. 

The Madison County Cookbook offers a taste from the "heart" of the Heartland. A collection of recipes and customs lovingly spearheaded by the members of St. Joseph's Parish and their families and friends in Madison County, it offers a unique look at a small community where good old fashioned values still prevail. 

Over 500 different recipes are featured, often with a story behind them -- from Oatmeal Raisin Bread and Taco Soup to Snowball Surprise and Hickory Nut Cake. Many are old- fashioned, down-home country recipes prepared from scratch; others come from the rich, diverse ethnic backgrounds of the region, passed down from one generation to the next, and evoking warm and happy memories.
