The Tasha Tudor Family Cookbook - by Winslow Tudor (Hardcover)

Book Synopsis

World-renowned artist Tasha Tudor charmed and fascinated fans with her sweet illustrations and simple lifestyle. This cookbook echoes the cultural and family narrative so accurately and beautifully reflected in Tasha Tudor's art and life.

The receipts (what she called recipes) also suggest Tasha's philosophy. "In all things moderation," she would say, then with a laugh, "except gardening."

Tasha's grocery list was never long. She had a robust vegetable garden, a large chest freezer, and well-stocked larder. She created countless meals over many decades, and they were all very good. When possible, Tasha purchased fresh food, the origin and method of production of which she knew. But if she couldn't, or didn't want to, she didn't worry. Frugality was on her shopping list as well. Receipts include"

• Banana bread
• Blueberry muffins
• Apple dumplings
• Pancakes and waffles
• Baked Beans
• Beef Stew
• Christmas Turkey
• Bean Salad
• Kale Salad
• Apple Pie
• Rice pudding
• And much more!

These receipts have been the mainstay of Tasha's family for generations, and are, for the most part, from the original cookbook she began as a young woman. The simple, comforting, and delicious receipts are accompanied by her beautiful watercolors and new photographs of the food and Tasha's homestead.
