Tea In A Tin Cup: Culinary Reminiscences of a Writer

A Broderick Crawford Day cake, goulash from a silent German inn, dark and white chocolate lemon scones reminiscent of a Christmas-in-June party, a noodle-ground beef-cheese casserole named after a skunk, cider-baked potatoes in an English home, Bubble and Squeak, Singing Hinnies, Afghans, roast leg of lamb… Tea in a Tin Cup relates mystery author Jo A. Hiestand's life-long journey of adventures and the food associated with them—events such as meeting the future members of her folk singing group via a spaghetti fight, tasting reindeer meat in a gold rush-era New Zealand town, and her childhood venture into baking. This collection of impressions, memories and recipes blend to remind us that life, humor and good food are not only entwined but also are the essence of life.
