Cookbook author Judith Fertig grew up in the Midwest, went to college and cooking school in Europe, and now lives in Kansas City. Described by Saveur Magazine as a “heartland cookbook icon,” Fertig writes cookbooks that reflect her love of bread, baking, barbecue, and the fabulous foods of the Heartland.
You can read some of her cookbooks like novels–the fabulously photographed Heartland, the award-winning and James Beard Award-nominated Prairie Home Cooking (a “tour de force,” says Saveur), the encylopedic All-American Desserts, and Prairie Home Breads. Her IACP Cookbook Award-winning The Back in the Swing Cookbook (with Barbara C. Unell) takes you on a delicious daily journey to get you back in the swing after breast cancer.
Other books reflect her ongoing reign as a tiara-totin’ BBQ Queen, having fun with co-author and co-queen Karen Adler, from BBQ Bash, 300 Big & Bold Barbecue Recipes, and Weeknight Grilling to 25 Essentials Planking, 25 Essentials Grilling Fish, the best-selling The Gardener and the Grill, and the latest BBQ Bistro: Simple, Sophisticated French Recipes for Your Grill. Do you know the 4 BBQ Queen Waves for when you become famous (for your barbecue or anything else) ?? Here are a few hints: Wiping the windshield, screwing in a lightbulb, fluttering the air. . . . Do them along with us on the Food Network. http://www.Youtube.com/watch?v=bGFVownwvVA
And some of her cookbooks just make you want to get in that kitchen and stir up something new–with one-bowl, no-knead bread in 200 Fast & Easy Artisan Breads or with your “electric assisant” in The Artisan Bread Machine.
Her most recent book was published in 2015 by Running Press, Bake Happy.
