Well hello, buddy.

Old Time Hawkey, aka Fritz, is always there to offer a hot apple cider or an ice cream sundae on a tough day, to help you drift off to sleep with a story or a retro video game.

His first cookbook, Old Time Hawkey's Recipes from the Cedar Swamp, features over 100 cozy recipes divided into three categories--indoor, campfire, and companions--with comforting recipes like Pumpkin Pancakes, Dutch Oven Nachos, and Fireside Apple Cider.

Fritz is a storyteller by nature; he includes stories about his life in his Michigan cabin (with his dogs Donnybrook and Kris Draper), which reveal how the nature around him shapes his cooking. This book takes you on an adventure through the forest, then helps you cook a comforting meal before drifting off to sleep.
