Book excerpt: "Food and country life have always been inseparable--particularly in Utah, particularly in its early years. From the handcart companies onward, food has meant survival and security, livelihood and celebration, and as many more things as there are people to remember them. Bounty is a collection of those memories, recorded in the words of Utahans who have provided cherished old-time recipes, remedies, or anecdotes. The variety of their offerings demonstrates how many facets of life food has touched in rural Utah, and the outstanding photographs that complement the text make the past almost palpable."--front dust jacket flap.
