From the Inside Flap

American Regional Cuisine

The culinary heritage of the United States is as rich and multifaceted as the nation itself. American Regional Cuisine celebrates everything that is different, distinctive, and delicious in the diverse traditions of American cooking--from New England Clam Chowder to Carolina Pulled Pork Barbecue, from Floribbean Grouper with Black Bean, Jicama, and Corn Salsa to San Francisco Cioppino.

This unique cookbook and guide to the finest in regional American cooking features recipes for 250 of the most popular and memorable dishes from eleven regional culinary traditions, including Cajun and Creole cuisine, Tex-Mex cuisine, and the cuisine of California and Hawaii. Grouped by region, these recipes are drawn from every part of the menu, offering a range of complete meals for each culinary style.

The book establishes a cultural and historical context and describes the indigenous ingredients, unusual techniques, and special touches that give each style of cooking its unique signature. Well-known chefs and restaurateurs introduce the cuisine of each region, from Michael Foley (owner of Printer's Row restaurant in Chicago) and Allen Susser (owner and executive chef of Chef Allen's in Miami) to Bert Cutino (owner of the Sardine Factory in Monterey, California).

Detailed, easy-to-follow instructions ensure that nothing is left to chance when it comes to preparing mouthwatering soups, tempting appetizers, and elegant entr?es from every American culinary tradition. And more than 70 color and black-and-white photographs demonstrate cooking techniques and reveal the beauty of finished dishes.

2.0 out of 5 stars Meh, February 3, 2007
This review is from: American Regional Cuisine (Hardcover)
If you want to know about the ingredients and history of food throughout the regions of America, this is a pretty good book. As a recipe book, however, it fails quite horribly. When using this text in class, amounts of ingredients had to be vastly adjusted; more often than not, I just found different recipes of the dish online because I couldn't trust any of the ones in there.

That being said, there are a few gems contained in it's pages. The bread pudding with whiskey sauce and banana pudding recipes are fantastic, as well as the kahlua pig recipe from the Hawaiian chapter.

Good as a reference book, not so much as a recipe book, so be warned.

2.0 out of 5 stars Awful, March 31, 2005
This was one of my text books in culinary school and I have to say that it is the worst written book I have ever come across.
There is alot of useful information within that describes in detail the ingredients used in various parts of the country but if you are using it for the recipes, beware because there are numerous mistakes. If you can get it used, it can serve as a good reference book but that's about it.
