# The Fallingwater Cookbook: Elsie Henderson's Recipes and Memories - Hardcover

by **Suzanne Martinson** (Author), **Jane Citron** (Other), **Robert Sendall** (Other)

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 jr., and their many guests. _The Fallingwater Cookbook_ captures the experience of fine and casual dining at this famed home. Suzanne Martinson, former food editor and writer for the _Pittsburgh Press_ and the _Pittsburgh Post-Gazette,_ relates recipes from Elsie Henderson, the longtime and last cook for the Kaufmann family at Fallingwater, along with Henderson's memories and anecdotes of life in the renowned house on the waterfall. Henderson also recounts with humor, affection, and vivid detail her encounters with Senators John Heinz and Ted Kennedy, Isaac Stern, and Frank Lloyd Wright, among others.The book is rounded out with additional recipes from Chef Robert Sendall, who began producing special events at Fallingwater in the early 1990s, Jane Citron, with whom Sendall taught cooking classes, and Mary Ann Moreau, former chef of the Cafe at Fallingwater. Artfully composed photographs of food, architecture, landscape, family, and guests complete the collection, which, like Fallingwater, will be treasured for years to come.
