Adam and Jackie Sappington of the Country Cat have just published their first cookbook. It’s called Heartlandia it’s a resource for anyone wanting to recreate the kind of classy rustic cooking they’ve established at the restaurant over the past eight years (or as they put it, “Glorified gramma cuisine”). Stuffed full of tempting comfort dishes such as buttermilk biscuits, autumn squash soup, wild mushroom steak sauce and bourbon peach crumble pie, there are also chapters on pickles and preserves.
To celebrate the book’s release, the Country Cat are hosting a special Heartlandia-themed dinner tomorrow with three recipes from the book: melon salad with arugula, fennel, and marjoram; bread pudding stuffed lamb shoulder with creamed corn and braised pole beans; and free-form apple pie with vanilla ice cream. Signed copies of the book will be available to purchase.
The Country Cat, 9737 SE Starck, September 3, $28 for three courses. Heartlandia cookbook, $30
