Country Cooking in Mendocino: Recipes from Mendocino County's Renowned Caterer Jeanette Stroh

Author: Debbie Reardan

Jeanette Stroh launched her cooking career at the age of three when she enhanced her brother's prized butterfly collection by mixing it into a jar of peanut butter. Her passion for food led her to baking for local retailers, and finally to Jeanette's Country Cooking, the catering business she ran for over 20 years. Jeanette's reputation for hearty country cooking reached from Mendocino County, 150 miles south to San Francisco. Her barbecued tri-tip roasts, homemade pies, and tasty appetizers never failed to satisfy her customers. This compilation of 206 of Jeanette's best country recipes was assembled and tested by Jeanette's daughter, Debbie Reardan.
