Hailed as the most architecturally significant private residence in the United States, Fallingwater was a welcome retreat for Edgar J Kaufmann, his wife Liliane, their son, Edgar junior, and their many guests. This title captures the experience of fine and casual dining at this famed home.
Martinson gathers recipes from Elsie Henderson, the longtime and last cook for the Kaufmann family, along with Henderson's memories of life at Fallingwater and her encounters with the Kaufmanns, John Heinz, Senator Ted Kennedy, and Frank Lloyd Wright. Included are recipes from chef Robert Sendall, cooking instructor Jane Citron, and Mary Ann Moreau, former chef of the Fallingwater Cafe.
