 | The Cook's Country Cookbook: Regional and Heirloom Favorites Tested and Reimagined for Today's Home Cooks
Brand: Boston Common Press
Welcome to Cook's Country - a place where you'll learn what's cooking in kitchens across America. This debut collection from the editors of Cook's Country magazine celebrates the landscape of American home cooking from yesterday and today. In the tradition of great American cookbooks like The Fannie Farmer Cookbook and The Settlement Cookbook, The Cook's Country Cookbook is, at its core, a wide-ranging, comprehensive collection chock-full of beloved classics like roast chicken, beef stew, biscuits, blueberry pie, and more. In addition, the editors of Cook's Country magazine have also reached back in time to revive old favorites to suit modern tastes and lifestyles. Here you'll find Chicken Divan without the soup mix - only tender chicken crisp broccoli blanketed in a velvety cheese sauce. You'll learn that it's possible to serve a from-scratch comfort food classic like meatloaf on a weeknight when time is tight: our mini-meatloaves cook in a fraction of the time of traditional versions. <br>Discover fresh, new, and sometimes regional recipes that illuminate the depth and personality behind American cooking - recipes such as North Carolina Pulled Pork (a slow-cooker dish with real barbecue flavor); 24-Hour Salad (a make-ahead salad where the vegetables remain crisp and fresh); and King Ranch Casserole (a kid-friendly creamy chicken casserole with toasty corn chips and Southwestern spices, made famous by Lady Bird Johnson).<br>In addition to foolproof recipes, The Cook's Country Cookbook also pulls back the curtain to reveal the often fascinating origins of classic American favorites, such as the use of breakfast cereal in party snack mixes or how Bundt pans gave rise to the popular cake. Much more than a collection of foolproof recipes, The Cook's Country Cookbook provides a lively, in-depth portrait of the great American table. | *$15.26 |

 | Stealing Buddha's Dinner
Brand: Brilliance Audio on CD Unabridged
Beginning with her familyâs harrowing migration out of Saigon in 1975, Stealing Buddhaâs Dinner follows Bich Nguyen as she comes of age in the pre-PC-era Midwest. Filled with a rapacious hunger for American identity, Nguyenâs desire to belong transmutes into a passion for American food â Pringles, Kit Kats, and Toll House cookies. More exotic-seeming than her Buddhist grandmotherâs traditional specialties, the campy, preservative-filled âdelicaciesâ of mainstream America become an ingenious metaphor for her struggle to become a ârealâ American. Stealing Buddhaâs Dinner is also a portrayal of a diverse family: Nguyenâs hardworking, hard-partying father; pretty sister; wise and nurturing grandmother; and Rosa, her Latina stepmother. And there is the mystery of Nguyenâs birth mother, unveiled movingly over the course of the book. Nostalgic and candid, Stealing Buddhaâs Dinner is a unique vision of the immigrant experience and a lyrical ode to how identity is often shaped by the things we long for.<br><br>âHer typical and not-so-typical childhood experiences give her story a universal flavor.â â USA Today<br><br>âBeautifully written...[Nguyen] is fearless in asserting the specificities of memories culled from early childhood and is, herself, an appealing character on the page...A writer to watch.â â Chicago Tribune<br><br>âPerfectly pitched and prodigiously detailed.â â The Boston Globe | *$18.81 |

 | The Texas Cowboy Cookbook: A History in Recipes and Photos
Brand: Broadway
<p>Texas cowboys are the stuff of legend â immortalized in ruggedly picturesque images from Madison Avenue to Hollywood.

Walsh gives overdue credit to the largely unsung black cowboys (one in four cowboys was black, and many of those were cooks). Cowgirls also played a role, and there is even a chapter on Urban Cowboys and an interview with the owner of Gilleyâs, setting for the John Travolta--Debra Winger film.<br><br>Here are a mouthwatering variety of recipes that include campfire and chuckwagon favorites as well as the sophisticated creations of the New Cowboy Cuisine:<br><br>⢠Meats and poultry: sirloin guisada, cinnamon chicken, coffee-rubbed tenderloin<br>⢠Stews and one-pot meals: chili, gumbo, fideo con carne<br>⢠Sides: scalloped potatoes, onion rings, pole beans, field peas<br>⢠Desserts and breads: peach cobbler, sourdough biscuits, old-fashioned preserves<br><br>Through over a hundred evocative photos and a hundred recipes, historical sources, and the words of the cowboys (and cowgirls) themselves, the food lore of the Lone Star cowboy is brought vividly to life.</p> | *$11.01 |
