About the Book
A delicious collection of classic, midwestern family recipes updated with modern spins and ingredients—from one of Instagram’s favorite farmers, Kaleb Wyse.
When Kaleb Wyse started documenting his daily life on his farm in Iowa, he didn’t think many people would take notice or even care. After all, his way of life is simple, guided by the seasons—he spends his days gardening, preserving, baking, and cooking, a rhythm not all that different from that of his parents, grandparents, and even great-grandparents who worked the land before him.
But it turns out that people from all over the country (and even the world) connected with Kaleb’s simple, back-to-basics way of living, and fell in love with his hearty, homestyle cooking. From casseroles to biscuits, his recipes hit the sweet spot of nostalgia for some—and are a breath of fresh air for others.
In his debut cookbook, Kaleb shares his midwestern family recipes, updated for the way we eat today:
- Overnight French Toast Stick Casserole
- Cornmeal Pancakes with Blackberry Sauce
- Roasted Pork Tenderloin with Spiced Apricot Glaze
- Caesar Roasted Brussels Sprouts
- Roasted Zucchini, Dill, and Feta Dip
- Honey Dijon Three Bean Salad
- Rhubarb Custard Pie Bars
From breakfasts and main courses to side dishes and desserts, the timeless food in this cookbook will appeal to every generation. Kaleb’s philosophy behind his recipes is simple: the dishes must be reminiscent of those prepared by his mom, grandmas, or even great-grandmas; the ingredients have to be readily available in his southeastern Iowa grocery stores (meaning that they’d be available for pretty much anyone else); and the end result needs to be no-nonsense and taste amazing.
This delightful cookbook is a reminder that it’s ok to slow down and keep it simple in the kitchen—the result with Kaleb’s recipes will always be comforting, classic, and delicious.
Critical Praise
“Kaleb has woven a beautiful tale of what it means to show love through nourishment. With sentiments gathered from his rural Iowa upbringing to reconnecting with his roots inside his own garden, there are lessons to be learned about the power of food and family. There’s Always Room at the Table is a celebration of the 'quiet cooks' who raised him and the sweet nostalgia of the meals they shared.” — Shea McGee, New York Times bestselling author and interior designer
"Kaleb brings such a bounty of home and heart to his cooking, you can't help but feel welcome at his table. But the true gift of this book is Kaleb's loyalty to cultivating land and family. It's inspiring from plate to spirit." — Joy Wilson, cookbook author and creator of Joy the Baker
"Family recipes and traditions often serve as inspiration for good cookbooks, but Kaleb Wyse takes it a step further, making room for us at his cozy Iowa farm table. Through introductions to his family and an impressive collection of comforting recipes, we are privileged enough to get a rare glimpse into Wyse’s happy and delicious childhood, and the dishes that made him who he has become as an adult." — Tyler Florence, TV Host and Chef
