    History of American Cooking
  

*by T***N on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on October 13, 2022*

If you are looking for a cookbook that is a history of American cooking, this is it. I believe many people will find the recipes old-fashion with organ meats, and without the wide variety of ingredients, we cook with today. Nevertheless, it has a place in everyone's cookbook library.

    Really old school and a lot of made from scratch cooking
  

*by T***R on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on July 30, 2022*

Nice book but it’s super old fashioned and everything is made from scratch. Long cook times and you need a ton of ingredients per recipe.

    Magisterial epic American cookbook
  

*by J***G on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on October 15, 2006*

This cookbook obviously has huge breadth and depth of American cookery -- the cooking that is actually practiced in the kitchens of America, developed here and carried with immigrant cultures, through the centuries of American life up through the twentieth century.What sets Beard's masterpiece apart even further, though, is his casual, storytelling style, and his depth of context for the foods that we make and eat. His fascination with the American story, as reflected in our meals, is infectious. It never ceases to grab me, like a short story that sucks me in, as I leaf through recipes in this book.For instance: looking for cherry pie, and reading that there used to be many more kinds of cherries commonly available in the U.S., and how they compare with the ubiquitous bing today, and that people often grew "pie cherry" trees just in their yards just for pie, and Oh, by the way, here's an old recipe for cherry pie and a newer one, and how I like to do it sometimes.Or, for instance: Note the Spanish flavors in an old Rancho California chicken recipe, browned in cornmeal then baked in a sauce that contained green olives and almonds and cumin and chili powder.Or, for instance, how dinner parties have changed and what kinds of appetizers have gained or lost with fashion from the turn of the twentieth century until the seventies (when this edition was set down).Finally, this is a great "starter" cookbook for it's range of simply-stated "how-to" instructions. How do you cook an ear of corn, like for how long? What makes a good hamburger patty? Beard even gives several ways to boil an egg. For most Americans starting a household or first moving away from home -- college students or newlyweds -- this is a much better cookbook than the other perennial "starter" selection, Joy of Cooking. If you just want to learn how to cook everything you already know in your bones is real food, comfort food, fun food, all the familiar American food you know and love -- this is the cookbook you want.
