Fruitcake is a jaunty little collection of heirloom fruitcake recipes selected by Marie Rudisill from a nineteenth-century family farm journal owned by Sook Faulk, a cousin of Rudisill and Truman Capote, who immortalized Sook in his novella, A Christmas Memory. Rudisill, made famous as “The Fruitcake Lady” on Jay Leno’s Tonight Show, aims to elevate the much-maligned reputation of what she calls “the queen of cakes” in this book, which features 23 enticing recipes, including Peacock Fruitcake, Chocolate Fruitcake, Civil War Fruitcake, Pore Man’s Fruitcake, and Farmer’s Fruitcake. These are interspersed with pithy facts about fruitcake, an excerpt from A Christmas Memory, bits of kitchen wisdom and baking tips, and charming family reminiscences, most of which feature Truman and Sook. With a new foreword by cookbook author Jean Anderson, this entertaining volume enriches our experience of southern cooking by raising up one of its least-trumpeted culinary traditions.

A Little Fruitcake: A Childhood in Holidays


$4.19


"Ah, the sweet memories of Christmas," Gifts under the tree. Cookies for Santa. And, of course, the annual fruitcake. For young David Valdes Greenwood, the indomitable "little fruitcake" at the center of these tales, nothing is sweeter than the promise of the holidays. A modern-day Tiny Tim, he holds fast to his ideal of "what Christmas should be," despite the huge odds against him: Sub-zero Maine winters. A host of eccentric relatives. And his constant foil: a frugal, God-fearing Grammy who seems determined to bring an end to all his fun. A book that’s "fa-la-la-licious" ("Louisville Courier Journal") and filled with funny, charming Yuletide memories (from building a Lego(R) manger to hunting for the perfect Christmas tree), "A Little Fruitcake" will inspire even the biggest Grinches around.
