Selected Recipes from The Apple Cookbook
As famous as apples are for pie, cooking with apples does not stop there.
Olwen Woodier's latest cookbook, Apple Cookbook, shows this versatile fruit can be used in almost any savory entrée, in addition to dessert dishes.
"Apples are America's No. 1 fruit because they're one of the most versatile fruits available," Woodier said. "The crisp, crunchy, tart, and sweet flesh of apples can be diced, sliced, or grated and added to almost any traditional recipe for a tasty twist."
Woodier's book has already received high praise.
"If, in fact, an apple a day keeps the doctor away (and there is considerable evidence to support this view), then Olwen Woodier is my kind of doc," said Burt Wolf, the James Beard Award-winning TV food journalist.
"Any cook or baker who truly loves fresh takes on the classics will adore Olwen Woodier's Apple Cookbook. Blissfully simple, every recipe begs to be made. This is American cooking at its best original, unpretentious, truly appealing," said Sally Koslow, former editor of McCall's.
The U.S. Apple Association is pleased to provide the following highlighted recipes by special arrangement with Ms. Woodier and Storey Books.
When she isn't writing about apples and cooking, Woodier also writes about travel and gardening for the New York Times, National Geographic Traveler, and National Wildlife magazine. She is the author of four cookbooks and a gardening book, and she writes for the travel Web site www.away.com.
