Apple Companion

A traditional country-style cookbook that celebrates the versatility of apples through a wide range of recipes, from soups and savory dishes to desserts.

Alongside the recipes, the authors provide useful information about apple varieties and practical techniques for selecting, peeling, coring, slicing, and preparing apples. This cozy autumn cookbook combines Midwestern culinary traditions with practical apple knowledge, making it a useful guide for cooks interested in incorporating apples into everyday meals.

Liz Clark and her husband, Tom, began orcharding in 1977 after abandoning city careers as systems analysts. Today they grow over 200 varieties of apples, the best of the antique and modern, and operate Applesource - the mail order marketplace for specialty apples.
