The Best American Recipes

Great seller! The book purchased is in perfect condition and the mailing time really good! Will make business with this seller again!!Thanks!

It has been a very long time since "American" food was limited to burgers, hot dogs, and apple pie. Today's Americans, no matter where they originally came from, enjoy the widest range of cuisines on the planet. This delightful book both acknowledges and celebrates the diversity of the American palate. Contributed by some of the top chefs in the world, the recipes in this book are far from stuffy or overly complicated and instead manage to be well presented and easy to follow. The chefs also offer their personal tips for faster preparation or variations to adapt the recipes to taste. This is not a "for-special-occasions" cook book. While the food looks fantastic and provides real depth of flavor, each recipe slides easily into the normal rotation for the average cook. Whether you are a novice or an experienced cook, this book is called "The Best" for a reason.

Rarely do I read a cookbook, and I read a lot of them, and think that every single recipe sounds fantastic--this is the exception. A yummy, easy to follow compilation of great recipes! The tips and notes from the authors/cooks after each recipe are practical and time-saving--helpful for both the novice and experienced cook. AND the authors picked their favorites from the favorites and listed them in the front for a no-fail pick if you are in a hurry. SMART. I haven't looked at previous "best of" books by these authors, probably the format is similar. I might have to buy them too! It's clear that they have made each and every one of these dishes. I have made three things out of this book--all wonderful. If you buy one cookbook this year, make it this one.
