Home Cooking American Style From The Heartlands - Paperback

by Sylvester Murray (Author)

Shrimp Creole, clam chowder, chicken and sausage jambalaya, Southern fried chicken, Boston cream pie... just one taste of them and you'll realize how enjoyable real American-style cooking can be. There's much more to the American cooking tradition than those savory, lip-smacking burgers and hotdogs dressed with relish and ketchup and juicy steaks sizzling aromatically on the grill with the traditional baked potato served with salad, French bread, and wines. Home Cooking American Style will immerse you in the captivating depths of American cuisine from the Creole and "Soul Food" of the South to the Pennsylvania Dutch finger-licking, lip-smacking comfort food of the North; from those savory Boston baked beans with brown sugar, molasses, and traditional salt pork to delicious sourdough bread in San Francisco. The heritage is immense and exceptional, and the food is utterly divine. You can be assured these recipes are easy to follow, genuine, and certain to please. Potato salad, coleslaw, barbecued pork chops, old-fashioned apple pie a la mode, and strawberry shortcake... there's a bounty of eating and cooking enjoyment in Home Cooking American Style.
