From Booklist
Blake celebrates American-style home cooking in an oversize book featuring beautiful color photos of pastoral scenes and many a mouth-watering culinary still life. Represented in about equal proportions are recipes for appetizing farm produce, wild game from the woods, fresh fish from rivers and lakes, and delicacies from the sea. Equal time is also given to different areas of the country as Blake reveals the secrets of classic regional fare including fried green tomatoes, Yankee corn chowder, Texas-style ribs, shrimp creole, and stewed rabbit. Attractive and easy to follow, Blake's cookbook is as enjoyable to peruse as to use in meal planning. Alice Joyce
