Rooted in the humble beginnings of Iowa farm culture and four generations of family tradition, Grandma’s Root Cellar: A Cookbook is a culinary homage to heritage, hospitality, and resourcefulness. Author Kellie Kesselring, known as Chef Mama K, invites you into a kitchen where the philosophy is simple: make the most of what you have, waste very little, and ensure no guest ever leaves hungry. While the spirit of this collection is born from Sunday dinners watching Great-Grandma and Grandma cook, the recipes offer a modern, inclusive twist. Chef Mama K presents a delicious array of Vegan and Gluten-Free comfort foods, proving that traditional farmhouse warmth can be enjoyed by everyone. Inside, you will discover: Breads: From a hearty Grandma’s White Bread to a quick Irish Soda Bread . - Jams & Preserves: Unique flavor combinations like Strawberry Pepper Jam and Spiced Vanilla Bourbon Peach Preserves . - Soups & Stews: Soul-warming bowls like Posole and Curried Pumpkin Tofu Soup . - Wraps: Creative, plant-based handhelds including The Peanut-Thai Wrap and The Bombay Wrap . - Desserts: Decadent treats such as Bourbon Banana Skillet Upside Down Cake and Grandma’s Farmhouse Cake . Interwoven with cherished memories of road trips on country roads and holiday fudge-making, this cookbook is more than a list of ingredients—it is a reminder that the journey is just as important as the destination.
