"Recipes feature easy-to-find ingredients, are accompanied by gorgeous photographs, and include options that will appeal to any palette" (Publishers Weekly).
Farmhouse Weekends is the cookbook for anyone who daydreams of country life. Prepare meals and experiences to enjoy in the easy companionship of family and friends—everything you need to create the perfect farmhouse weekend, no matter where you live, is found within these pages. Each chapter provides recipes inspired by author Melissa Bahen's weekend jaunts in the country: apple cider donuts and white bean chili after a day of picking fresh apples in the fall; buttery cobbler full of ripe, summer berries after a trip to the farmers' market; hot, flaky biscuits slathered with butter and homemade strawberry freezer jam to start out a spring day. You'll find brunch, dinner, and dessert recipes for spring, summer, autumn, and winter: sixty-five recipes to entertain and enjoy good company all year round.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Lulu the Baker blogger Bahen (Scandinavian Gatherings) makes a convincing case in this winsome outing that one doesn't have to live in the country to "slow down and enjoy good people, delicious food, and experiences worth savoring." Though she and her family moved into their "dream farmhouse" in 2014, she and her husband have kept up their regular nine-to-five lives during the week, but during the weekend things take a bucolic turn, with much time spent in the kitchen. Here, Bahen lays out the kinds of things that occupy her weekend, and which she suggests are just as easy to do for city-bound cooks. Recipes are arranged by season and lean toward classic comfort fare, with, for instance, parmesan risotto for spring, a "Height of Summer Salad," two kinds of chili for fall, and a potato-leek soup for winter. Dishes cover the bases, from sweet and savory breakfast options to both light and heavy desserts, with a number of salads, sides, and soups to sit alongside the mains. Recipes feature easy-to-find ingredients, are accompanied by gorgeous photographs, and include options that will appeal to any palette (kids might especially appreciate the pan-fried chicken tenders). Home chefs with picky eaters, or those craving good-old-fashioned comfort food should take a look.
