The author of nineteen previous cookbooks, "The Art Of Scottish-American Cooking" continues to demonstrate Kay Shaw Nelson's impressive abilities to assemble palate-pleasing, appetite satisfying, authentically ethnic cookbooks that are as 'kitchen cook friendly' as they are exemplary in presenting culinary fare that would grace any dining occasion from simple family meals to elegant celebratory feasts. "The Art Of Scottish-American Cooking" showcases more than two hundred recipes along with fascinating information with respect to Scottish holidays, heroes, and traditions, as well as notable culinary and cultural achievements drawn from four hundred years of Scottish food and drink in the United States and Canada. From Northwestern Salmon Bisque; Scotch Hamburgers; Walnut-Turkey Hash; and Barley-Applesauce Pudding; to Raisin-Oat Scones; Church Social Strawberry Shortcake; Scotch Coffee; Drambuie; and Hot Buttered Cider, "The Art Of Scottish-American Cooking" offers diverse and savory dishes, making it a welcome and enthusiastically recommended addition to personal and community library cookbook collections!

I really like this cookbook. The recipes are more American than Scottish, but I have yet to find a dud. The author had been diligent to include recipes from all of the portions of the US that have large Scottish populations. She provides some details of each place, and this makes for interesting reading. This book is pitched toward the person who is comfortable in the kitchen, but who is not an expert.
