Hotdish Haiku

A marvelous collection of 50 haiku honoring hotdish, as well as 30 tantalizing oriental hotdish recipes.(Hotdish is a popular term for casserole in the upper midwest.)

Written by Pat Dennis (author of Hotdish to Die For), Mary Hirsch (former writer for Garrison Keillor’s Prairie Home Companion and author of I Wake Up Beautiful & Other Fantasies), Dean Johnson, Mary Monica Pulver, Jeremy Yoder, Lance Zarimba, Codey Livingood, Peggy Jaegly, Thea Miller Ryan, Marit Livingood, Marilyn Victor, Wendy Nelson, Sandra Thomas and Dale Wolf.
