BOOK SYNOPSIS
“I chuckled all the way through this delightful book. I felt like I was spending a sunny afternoon visiting with the charming Sanvidge sisters as they tell their funny, warm, and wonderful stories about growing up in 1950s Wisconsin. Each recipe evokes family memories (which each sister remembers a little differently . . .) and conjures up a time and place that has become an American icon.”
--Judith Fertig, author of Prairie Home Cooking “From the first page to the last, the mouthwatering recipes and the rich family reminisces drew me in and kept me there, giving me a wonderful serving of the tastes and textures of growing up in Wisconsin.”
--Patty Pinner, author of Sweets Compiled by four sisters and based on their recollections of their childhood in Oshkosh, Wisconsin, Apple Betty & Sloppy Joe captures the glow of memories formed while growing up in a midwestern kitchen. From Lemon Meringue Pie to Tomato Soup Cake, from Mom’s Chicken Pie to Grandma Noffke’s Sliced Cucumber Pickles, this charming book features hundreds of recipes (some classic, some quirky), plus dozens of food- and cooking-related anecdotes, memories, humorous asides, and period photos that transport readers back to Mom’s or Grandma’s kitchen, circa 1950. The Sanvidges share a legacy of beloved dishes and food memories that resonate not just for their family, but for readers everywhere who grew up in a small midwestern town--or wish they had. Nostalgic, funny, and warmhearted, Apple Betty & Sloppy Joecelebrates the ways food and food memories link us to our past, and to each other. A delightful gift for food lovers of any generation.
