From Booklist
What could be more Middle America than Sunday dinner? By the 1970s the seemingly permanent tradition lost out to Sunday brunch, restaurant dining, and the hijacking of the Sunday agenda by televised professional sports and theme parks. If Russell Cronkhite has his way, Sunday dinner will come roaring back on a tidal wave of roasts, hot vegetables, and butter. The recipes in A Return to Sunday Dinner virtually define American home cooking in the late twentieth century. There are New England dinners, midwestern groaning boards, Italian feasts, Creole-inspired banquets--all designed to increase family solidarity. Only Asian and Mexican traditions don't show up here. Cronkhite's well-thought-out recipes and appealing menus attract anyone who enjoys American home cooking as it was before it was co-opted by canned and frozen prepared foods. Even if Sunday dinner isn't practical for today's families, Cronkhite's vision offers a wealth of inspiration for holiday dining, and his advice for spreading out the cooking over several days is useful. Color photographs evoke the nation's agricultural past. Mark Knoblauch
