Whatchagot Stew: A Memoir of an Idaho Childhood With Recipes and Commentaries

First published in 1989, this unusual combination, both a memoir and a cookbook, is now available in paperback. A word of warning: Before jumping into the recipes it might be wise to read McManus's childhood memoir first. Beyond the much-expected mirth, however, are solid and delicious recipes gathered and tested by Pat's sister "The Troll," Patricia Gass.
