UA Press publishes Jane Snow recipe book

Former Beacon Journal food writer Jane Snow’s new book, Jane Snow Cooks: Spirited Recipes & Stories, was released this week by the University of Akron Press. Jane & Michael Stern of Roadfood describe Jane Snow Cooks as, “…not just a book of recipes to treasure [but] the story of life in Akron, in the Midwest and in America as seen in the way people cook and eat.”

The book is filled with great recipes: everything from Akron favorites like Nick Anthe’s Bean Salad and Cranberry Velvet to classics such as Pennsylvania Pot Roast, Tomato & Corn Bisque, and Julienned Squash with Walnut Butter to exotic dishes like Nid D’abeilles and Gazpacho Andalucia. But, Jane Snow Cooks is more, it is alive with the stories behind the recipes. Snow shares history, her experience, and helpful tips with the reader in a way that is entertaining and informative. As you go through and cook some of these amazing recipes, expect to learn the origins and history of the dishes and have a great time.

Jane Snow will be at several events over the next few months. Check this calendar.
