The Tasha Tudor Cookbook (Chicken Croquettes & Mashed Potatoes from the Corgi Cottage!)

Tasha Tudor (b. 1915) was a famous watercolorist, book illustrator and gardener who lived a simple, rural lifestyle that became the envy of many! In her later years in Vermont, she decided to live as if it were the 1830's which included cooking on a wood stove only. I don't have a wood stove, but these chicken croquettes and mashed potatoes are still some of the best I've ever tasted! Make these for dinner and your family will sing your praises for years to come!! :)

Such a beautiful tribute of this fascinating women. I have got my cookbook ordered from Amazon and CANNOT wait to try this recipe. If anyone has never tried Croquettes they are really missing a treat. Also can't wait to read more on Tasha Tudor. I'll admit I have never heard of her story before. So interesting. Thank you for sharing.
