Roger and Linda Welsch matched references from Willa Cather's writing with recipes they collected from Cather family recipe files, from other period cookbooks, and from old-time ethnic cooks still living in the Bohemian tradition. Cather's Kitchens comes as close as possible to the precise recipes Cather had in mind and memory as she wrote.
"In this delightfully unusual book, the authors pinpoint where and how Cather used food preparation and eating to convey the texture of life on the Great Plains... A treat for literature lovers-and for cooks."-Booklist. "As a cookbook, Cather's Kitchens is unexpectedly delightful. As a commentary on Cather's work, the Welsches could not have selected a more appropriate subject, as domestic art for Cather was art of the highest order."-Great Plains Quarterly. "Food was not only an important motif in Cather's fiction, it was important in her life as well... [Cather's Kitchens] is redolent of Antonia's kolaches, of doughnuts and hickory nut cake, mile-high lemon pie, dark brown breads, roasting meats and homemade wine."-Associated Press.
