Abstract

As a cookbook, Cather's Kitchens is unexpectedly delightful. As a commentary on Cather's work, the Welsches could not have selected a more appropriate subject, as domestic art for Cather was art of the highest order. The authors expand upon Cather's domesticity by interpreting foodways as a pervasive motif in her plains fiction. For them, understanding Cather means understanding her food.
