Author Visit: Gerry Lentz

Listen to Gerry Lentz's amusing tales of childhood (and maybe a few delicious recipes too) from his memoir, Rooster! Rooster! blurb: "Growing up on an Iowa farm, Gerry Lentz was a Czechoslovakian farm boy who lived with his family, some 200 roosters and over 500 chickens on a 160-acre home place in northeastern Iowa. His mother, aunts, and sisters learned cooking from his grandmother and her old world recipes. They cooked delectable meats, pastries, breads, jams, jellies, and so much more. Gerry ate his way through childhood and loved it all! His tales are from age 4 to 15 in this coming of age memoir. Some tales are incredibly funny and other are downright unbelievable. It takes guts and grit to group up on a farm. The questions become: Could you do it?"
