2023.297.1Description
The authors of A SALUTE TO AMERICAN COOKING have collected more than 500 recipes, from all parts of America, that truly reflect the ethnic and regional variety in American cooking, as well as its origins and traditions. Along the New England shores, many of the finest recipes are traced back to the lands of Dickens and Thackeray; gourmet dishes were served in the restaurants of nineteenth-century New York; Mississippi riverboats were famed for their elaborate menus; great seafood dishes were created along the Tidewater and Gulf States. Recipes from the Pennsylvania Dutch farm country and the Middle West acknowledge the prize hogs and abundant fresh produce of the regions; the cooking of the Far West ranges from bear stews in the Klondike to mussels and abalone 'a la California's Malibu Beach. Ethnic sections present French cooking as it is found in New Orleans and in the states bordering Canada; examples of the best in Jewish-American cooking; adaptations of Italian recipes that have become American favorites; Spanish and Mexican influences in the Southwest; and dishes based on the magnificent cuisine of the Orient. -AmazonCreate Date
