How Iowa Cooks

by Tipton Woman's Club

"How Iowa Cooks is a 266-page book full of the best of the heartland. . . . The breadbasket of
America is amply represented in the more than 600 recipes, from all over the state."
St. Louis Post-Dispatch

Sorting through the great variety of cookbooks on the market today, so many
of which feature exotic dishes from strange, obscure parts of the world, it is
comforting to find one devoted to authentic American cooking. Now, from the
nation's breadbasket comes a collection of recipes full of heartland goodness.

Originally published by the Tipton (Iowa) Woman's Club, How Iowa
Cooks contains more than 600 recipes for delicious and economical
dishes. The state's diverse heritage of French, Indian, Dutch, Scottish,
German, and Scandinavian influences is reflected in the wide array of foods.
Both traditional favorites and innovative creations are included, from
appetizers like Crabmeat Dip to the hearty Huntington Chicken or Deviled Pork
Chops, to such splendid desserts as Molasses Sugar Cookies and of course Apple
Pie. Now in its ninth printing (with 39,000 copies in print), this book
features an entire chapter of 37 for Iowa's famous corn.

Customer Reviews

Simple (and *delectable*) down home cooking

This is a small, spiral-bound cookbook lacking the glitz of more modern counterparts. However, the recipes can unquestionably stand on their own. The apricot horns and St. Nicholas Cookies, alone, are well worth the cost of the book.
