In 1947, single mother Mildred Rowe helped start a small restaurant in the foothills of Appalachia. Today, that restaurant serves half a million locals and visitors a year, making it the most popular reason to stop over in Staunton, Virginia. MRS. ROWE'S FAMILY AND RESTAURANT COOKBOOK tells the story of this Shenandoah Valley institution and collects the best of Mrs. Rowe's cherished home-style recipes--timeless American comfort food like spoon bread, fried chicken, and cherry pie. Illustrated with beautiful vintage photographs, this nostalgic tribute is guaranteed to fill hearts and bellies with a hankering for a real home-cooked meal. * A heart-warming homage to the famous Mrs. Rowe's Restaurant, a 50-year-old all-American roadside café in Staunton, Virginia. * Includes 175 recipes and more than 50 archival and full- color food and location photos. * Accompanying text celebrates the life of the tough-as- nails Mildred Rowe, who started the highly successful restaurant. * Foreword by Jane and Michael Stern designates Mrs. Rowe, her restaurant, and her canon of recipes as the epitome of irresistible Appalachian country-style food. |
