farmhouse cooking

Rural kitchen fare

Farmhouse cooking is a rustic style of home cooking associated with rural life—hearty, unpretentious dishes made from simple, often locally sourced ingredients.

The term evokes comfort food prepared without fuss: roasted meats, fresh vegetables, homemade bread, pies cooling on windowsills.

The restaurant specializes in farmhouse cooking with ingredients from nearby farms.

In marketing, it signals authenticity and wholesomeness, whether or not an actual farmhouse is involved.
