A Birdwatcher's Cookbook - Paperback

For years Erma Fisk (Jonnie as she is known to her friends) has crisscrossed the globe, first with her husband as they traveled for the Department of Commerce, and more recently as an ornithologist and bird-bander. In addition to studying birds, she has gathered recipes and anecdotes wherever she has been, most often from other birdwatchers and their friends. Those who have sat at her table know she has more culinary tricks than you can shake a stick at. Those less fortunate have still had the pleasure of smelling her wonderful bread from afar. Now at last she has been persuaded to share the wealth with us in this delightful collection of food, people, and experiences that will charm even those who don't know a robin from a radish. Birdwatchers will benefit from her practical suggestions. But anyone can revel in her recipes from Lazy Biscuits and Spider Johnny Cake to Father Fisk's Rum Punch and Christmas-Count Pick Up.
