Midwestern home cooking sits at the centre of Hayden Haas's collection, from hearty casseroles to the desserts that close a Sunday meal.
Recipes are written step by step around ordinary ingredients, and Haas adds kitchen notes and personal stories that explain why a dish is made a particular way. Photography runs throughout, showing finished plates clearly enough to judge texture and portion, and the range covers quick weeknight cooking as well as larger meals meant for a table full of people.
What buyers should know:
• Comfort dishes from a Midwestern kitchen, including casseroles and bakes
• Step-by-step method written for confident and first-time cooks alike
• Personal notes and technique tips accompany the recipes
• Full-colour photography for every finished dish
