This set covers a classic overview of American cuisine, including east coast cooking from the mid-atlantic states to the midwest to classic California fare. This book traces the history of the evolution of the classic recipes of home and homestead from our pilgrim ancestors to the "present". The author tells of his own childhood food memories, a mother and other family members cooking under the restrictions of WWII rationing. Dividing the country into it's cultural and agricultural zones, the author provides regional information and reminiscences. For example, on pgs 54-55 he shows the 12 most popular apple varieties, witha color plate, of the time and a short description of qualities and use of each.
The photographs are wonderful. A time capsule of an America fast fading away. Farms with front lawns full of just harvested pumpkins, markets piled high with local produce, a seaside clambake for at least 200 people, a stunning picture of the Palace Court Salad as served inside the famous San Fran hotel dining room and football fans huddled around a grill at a tailgate party.
Recipes in the book include the categories of Soups, Fruits and Vegetables, Meat, Poultry, Fish and Shellfish, Eggs and Cheese, Breads, Rolls and Breakfast Cakes, Desserts (a generous list too). Altogether over 100 classic recipes. ( )
