Judith M. Fertig is a bestselling and award-winning cookbook author. She lives in Shawnee Mission, Kansas, where she develops recipes that celebrate the rich culinary traditions of the Heartland. A recognized authority on regional Midwestern cuisine and an experienced cookbook author and food writer, she has studied at the Cordon Bleu in London and La Varenne in Paris.

Fertig is also the author of the award-winning Pure Prairie: Farm Fresh and Wildly Delicious Foods from the Prairie, as well as several books on barbeque with co-author Karen Adler.
"Prairie Home Breads is packed with interesting breads and
fascinating stories from the Heartland. These unique, traditional
breads should be lovingly made at home and shared with family and
friends. You'll never find them in a bakery. Create your own baking
traditions using Judith Fertig's inspiring recipes." --Amy
Scherber, author of Amy's Breads and owner of Amy's Breads, New
York City
Prairie Home Breads reminds me again of what it is that makes bread
so special its ability to connect us to something deep inside.
Whether a taste memory or that warm place of comfort, bread, and
certainly these breads from our own prairie Heartland, expand our
awareness of the universal implications of that simple, but
infinitely profound, staff of life. Peter Reinhart, author of The
Bread Baker s Apprentice and Bread Upon the Waters
Prairie Home Breads is a deceptively humble title for a fascinating
book of modern homemade breads infused with the flavor of
yesteryear. America s Heartland has been almost a secret cache of
enviable breadbakers and Judith Fertig has given us a taste: family
recipes, bakery specialties, a sense of place, a who s who on the
baking scene. Maybe we don t grow our own wheat or churn our own
butter anymore, but we can most certainly bake our own bread with
the heart-to-heart soul of American bakers in every loaf. Beth
Hensperger, author of The Bread Lover s Bread Machine Cookbook and
The Best Quick Breads
