Reviews

This ode to down-home cooking is a colorful tapestry of our nation's culinary character. The By the Bowl chapter alone represents a deliciously warm blanket of Americana. Howie Southworth, author of One Pan To Rule Them All and Kiss My Casserole
My taste buds drool as I flip through The American Tables easy-to-follow recipes for what author Larry Edwards aptly calls the epitome of world culinary historycomfort food we have all come to love, cherish, and remember. Im eager to prepare and savor my initial menu of choice: Sweet Potato Biscuits, Corn Chowder, Indian Pudding, Broccoli Salad, and Maple Bourbon Cake (with real! maple syrup). You, too, are welcome to taste. Willard Roth, author of Mennonite Men Can Cook, Too
Comfort foodwhats not to like I was so excited to get this book. Ive lived all across this great country of ours, so comfort food from around America was exciting to me! . . . Fried Green Tomatoes are a Southern classic that I grew up on and even though I dont need a recipe to make them, this one is spot on. . . . Buttermilk Biscuits and Baking Powder Biscuits are two more that I grew up with and still make to this day! A good portion of recipes in this book are good or look good (I havent gotten to cook all of them yet!) . . . Sandras Kitchen Nook
