"More than just a nostalgic collection of yesteryear recipes, "A Garden Supper Tonight" by food historian and author Barbara Swell is a compilation of anecdotal commentaries, quotations, illustrations, and advice on home and garden that perfectly showcase the original recipes for dishes prepared and served by our great-grandmothers in the decades of the late 19th and early 20th century. A superb browse, "A Garden Supper Tonight" is organized into the four seasons of three months each and features a wide diversity of dishes whose ingredients are seasonal. The dishes range from Fried Squash Blossoms; Buttermilk Biscuits; and Blackberry Grilling Glaze; to Lemon Cornmeal Plum Cake; Strawberry Mint Jam, and Rhubarb Claret Sorbet. Enhanced with the inclusion of a resources list, a bibliography, and a recipe index, "A Garden Supper Tonight" is enthusiastically recommended for personal and community library collections." -- Midwest Book Review.
