Christopher Idone's Glorious American Food (Hardcover, 1985, Random House, 1st)

Description: Christopher Idone'sGlorious American FoodPhotographs by Tom Eckerle Christopher Idone, author of the hugely successful Glorious Food, has now brought forth the single most original, most beautiful book ever to be published on American food. Glorious American Food presents a spectacular showcase of regional American food, from its traditional beginnings to its amazing contemporary variety, indispensable to all Americans who cook. With his trademark genius for extraordinary menus in spectacular presentation, Christopher Idone recreates the exemplary dishes from the American tradition, from the Atlantic Coast's Grilled Swordfish with Gin-Lime Butter, to the Pacific Coast's Salmon Grilled on Alderwood. Glorious American Food with 250 full-color photographs by Tom Eckerle celebrates a regional pilgrimage across the United States. Here are the luscious Chesapeake crabs, Pennsylvania Dutch Chicken with Dill Dumplings, hearty Texas Chili, mouth-watering New Orleans Jambalaya, and Turkey Mole with Blue Corn Pancakes and Hot Mango Chutney from New Mexico. Offering recipes as honest as the land itself and as varied as the lives of the people who have worked that land, Idone explores with historic fidelity the gifts of teh Spanish and Mexicans of the Southwest, the French and Africans of the Gulf States, the English, Italians, Irish, Germans, and Portuguese of the East. More than seventy complete menus embrace the bounty of the four seasons, with more than 275 of Christopher Idone's elegant and inspired recipes. American food was born of the marriage of the settler and his land, and transformed by the genius of generations of native cooks, and here it is - all of it - brilliantly transformed by Christopher Idone in this volume for today's American kitchens.
