Description: Country Fare is unusual in that it will teach the reader two subjects at one time, combining flowers and food. Flowers found mostly throughout the United States in rural areas over fences, hanging on barns, in city parks and in the authors own back yard. Old country recipes passed down through generations, cut from the newspapers and favorites of friends and neighbors. You will love flipping through the pages looking for the recipe you tried once before once again and the beautiful images of flowers abound so you stop as one catches your eye and learn about it and make the promise to yourself your going to plant it in your yard come spring. Country Fare is a book that will be on the coffee table not on the shelf because it will become a practical and handy reference book that can be shown to others who visit and stir up the conversation – on two subjects! 68 full color pages of wonderful photography - you’ll wish it was hanging on your walls.
