As exotic as Cuban black bean soup and as simple as deep-dish apple pie, American food has a breadth like no other. Texan food authority Ruth Adams Bronz lays out the basics in
Classic American Cooking Vol. 1, a chatty and informative look at a wide range of fantastic foods. Each dish includes a complete ingredient list and time and temperature information preceded by Bronz's masterful preparation hints. Her charming style brings smiles with lines such as "you'll have to cook the black beans just about forever." Maryland crab cakes, cornbread, Texas red chili, and roast turkey round out the menu, though there's plenty more to keep any cook busy for weeks, if not months.
