THE DEAF SMITH COUNTRY COOKBOOK

by Marjorie Winn; Susan Hillyard & Mary Faulk Koock Ford ‧ RELEASE DATE: Oct. 22, 1973

Yes, there was really a Deaf Smith. But the name of the Lone Star revolutionary hero is best known today for its presence on the labels of organic flour from Texas' mineral-rich Deaf Smith County. By all appearances, the cooking down there is strictly vegetarian and organic, resulting in recipes for making breads and whole grain cereals, ideas for fresh salads and main dishes like Sunflower Casserole and Vegetable Quiche. Cavalier instructions for spicing up Nut Burgers with ""chili powder, hot sauce and other seasonings"" and serving (unkneaded?) Indian purl with honey or maple syrup are evidence that Ford, et al. are more concerned with nutrition than taste or authenticity. But, though their faith in the powers of raw honey and Adele Davis might be challenged, they do offer soft-sell guidance on methods and ingredients and an attractive enough selection of vegetarian menus to broaden the horizons of the novice health food chef.
