for fans of the series

Anna Del Maso has two passions: quilting and cooking. She has been able to combine her loves by creating quilts involving food. Now she receives what she deems a great honor; she has been selected as the head chef of the Elm Creek Quilts retreat at Elm Creek Manor in Waterford, Pennsylvania.

Anna is a purist when it comes to food and wants to continue what her predecessors started going back to 1858. On the other hand, Master Quilter Sylvia Bergstrom Compson encourages her to explore the dining heritage but to also update the kitchen last renovated before WWII. Anna delights with exploring the current kitchen and making plans to modernize it yet keeps its historical flavor. She knows she must be finished by the start of the next camp season. With Sylvia at her side, they begin the renewal even as the Master Quilter tells her head chef tales associated with every nook and cranny in the kitchen.

Obviously for fans of the series, THE QUILTER'S KITCHEN is an entertaining spin as the food, recipes, and kitchenware lead to the flashbacks rather than the usual quilting. The combo of Sylvia and Anna make for a fun tale filled with vignettes and related recipes including the return of fan favorites from previous Elm Creek novels starting with apple strudel as even tradition can be modernized and renovated with success as long as what makes the heritage sacred to some (in this case the recipes) is maintained.

Patience

It is not easy or quick to write a book about characters that have been part of our lives for many books now.
I am grateful for Jennifer to take the time to give us a small appetizer of what is going on while she is writing the next book.
Thanks Jennifer and I can't wait to try some of the recipes.

Quilters Kitchen

Whilst the patterns were good I was disappointed there wasn't more of a story line to the book

Quilter's Kitchen

Having read every Elm Creek Quilt Novel by Jennifer Chiaverini, I eagerly awaited The Quilter's Kitchen. I loved the blend of story line and recipes. Right now, I intend to use several of the Thanksgiving recipes with my family, perhaps a new tradition will be started.
