Special Cookbook Author Event - Amy Traverso

Meet Amy Traverso as she talks about her two cookbooks, "Yankee Magazine's Lost and Vintage Recipes" and "The Apple Lover's Cookbook".

"Lost and Vintage Recipes"
New Englanders know their heirlooms—clocks, quilts, vegetables,and more. Now Yankee Magazine rediscovers and updates their most delectable classic recipes, like Chicken and Dumplings, Roquefort Biscuits, Red Flannel Hash, Corn Pudding, and Snow Cake, for today’s home cooks who appreciate a great heirloom when they see one. Starters and soups, sides and meats and fish, breads and desserts, and more have been retested and updated for today’s cooks and today’s palates. To enhance the fun, retro sidebars feature excerpts from the magazine dating back to the 1930s, and you’ll find the stories and histories behind many of the recipes as well. 

The Apple Lover's Cookbook"
“Amy’s love of apples shines through and makes you want to head to the kitchen to cook or bake something immediately. This book will be an oft-used resource both at home and at my bakery.”—Joanne Chang, Flour Bakery+Cafe

“You’re a great teacher, your book is beautiful, and we learned a lot about apples.”—Martha Stewart, The Martha Stewart Show
