In search of something to savor, our senses come into play: smell and taste, of course, but at the very start is sight. Cookbooks are judged by their covers. Mounds of delectable produce inspire shoppers to plan bountiful meals. Kitchenware and appliances promise culinary delights, and design is almost as important as function. It's simple: food is more delicious if it is pleasing to the eye. Building on this common knowledge, gorgeous full-color paintings graced Minnesota cookbooks, food packaging, and promotional mailings beginning in the late nineteenth century. These lavish illustrations were made by talented artists, including the acclaimed N. C. Wyeth and Norman Rockwell. Minnesota's food companies, with their national and even international reach, hired fine artists to paint finished dishes, illustrate the era's kitchens, and design lush gardens that would entice consumers to purchase products and the cookbooks that celebrated them. In this collection of vintage recipes, evocative illustrations, and vivid ads, Kathryn Strand Koutsky and Linda Koutsky take readers on a tour of Minnesota's foodie ephemera of the 1880s through the 1980s: charming cartoon cooks, alluring seed catalog covers, and imaginative and decorative drawings celebrating cuisines from around the world. As the artwork and stories show, styles and approaches may change through the decades, but the goal remains the same: tempt your customers' appetite by elevating food and cooking to fine art. Award-winning designer Kathryn Strand Koutsky and book artist and graphic designer Linda Koutsky are the authors of Minnesota Eats Out: An Illustrated History, Minnesota Vacation Days: An Illustrated History, and Minnesota State Fair: An Illustrated History.Binding Type: Hardcover

Ok, I'm impressed with the book and how each day speaks to me. I've gone through the year and using it again this year. So its not a one time book, God uses every day to reveal to me what he wants me to see and hear. Every Christian should have this book!

Help is on the way and it comes every day !
Format: Kindle
This book contains words that will encourage anyone wanting encouragement, just be willing to see what is set before you contains the Word Of God and His Words are filled with life for those who find them and health to all their flesh. This book really has been a help to my wife and myself. I have found that a word for a certain day spoke the very word of encouragement to me that I really needed that day and these words are more than just someone making suggestions. Perhaps they were written for someone you know or maybe even you yourself, who knows maybe they have come into your grasp for such a time of need as now ? Anyway you judge for yourself, just be encouraged.
