Rosengarten David It's All American Food (0316159204)
American food is no longer just steak, potatoes and apple pie. Over the past 50 years, dishes that were once exotic have become part of the American menu. Remember Spaghetti and Meatballs? Shrimp Egg Foo Yung? Here, for the .rst time, David Rosengarten has created a de.nitive cookbook of truly American favourites, ranging from coast to coast, back into the past, and into the cuisines that have merged with the American mainstream in recent decades. Rosengarten places authentic Cajun recipes alongside the sizzling Cuban specialities of Miami. He unveils the mystery behind Philly chees-esteak sandwiches and Maryland crab cakes. He retrieves American classics like Chicken Pot Pie and Tuna Melt from Junior League cookbooks and restores them to their glory.
