We’re cooking up more #BookFace!

Sit down and enjoy a cup of tea with this #BookFaceFriday. “At Willa Cather’s Tables: The Cather Foundation Cookbook” edited by Ann Romines

(Allen Press, 2010) explores recipes related to Willa Cather and her works. It was featured in our lobby as part of a display featuring cooking books in our collection. Some other featured items include “Apple Recipes for Nebraska City Apples“, “Toast to Omaha“, “Nebraska: Good Books! Good Cooks!“, “Inspired Recipes from Nebraska“, “Nebraska Centennial First Ladies’ Cookbook“, “Nebraska Pioneer Cookbook“, “Early Nebraska Cooking“, and several more.

These titles are part of Nebraska Publications Clearinghouse, also known as the Nebraska State Documents Collection. This collection is comprised of publications issued by Nebraska state agencies, ensuring that state government information is available to a wide audience and that those valuable publications are preserved for future generations. University of Nebraska Press books, as well as all state documents, are available for checkout by libraries and librarians for their patrons.

“At Willa Cather’s Tables is a literary cookbook with historical context that lets you experience and enjoy (and cook!) recipes from Cather’s work, her family and friends, the places that were meaningful to her, and from the Cather Foundation and its loyal friends. This unique cookbook offers another way to explore the rich (and delicious) legacy of a great American writer.”
