Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I recently purchased four copies of the The Fallingwater Cookbook to give as Christmas gifts. My daughter took them to a signing held at the University of Pittsburgh and got not only Elsie Henderson's signature but also Suzanne Martinson's. I live near Fallingwater and have visited several times. The stories in the book take on new meaning when you visit the home. I know my friends will really enjoy trying the recipes. I should have ordered one for myself!!!!! Marilyn from Uniontown, PA

Hailed as the most architecturally significant private residence in the United States, Fallingwater was a welcome retreat for Edgar J. Kaufmann, his wife Liliane, their son, Edgar jr., and their many guests. The Fallingwater Cookbook captures the experience of fine and casual dining at this famed home. Suzanne Martinson, former foodeditor and writer for the Pittsburgh Press and the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, relates recipes from Elsie Henderson, the longtime and last cook for the Kaufmann family at Fallingwater, along with Henderson's memories and anecdotes of life in the renowned house on the waterfall. Henderson's encounters with the Kaufmanns, John Heinz, Senator Ted Kennedy, and Frank Lloyd Wright, among others, are recounted with humor, affection, and surprising detail. The book is rounded out with additional recipes from chef Robert Sendall, who began producing special events at Fallingwater in the early 1990s, Jane Citron, with whom Sendall taught cooking classes, and Mary Ann Moreau, former chef of the Fallingwater Café. Artfully composed photographs of food, architecture, landscape, family, and guests complete the collection, which, like Fallingwater, will be treasured for years to come.
