Reviews

This bright, clean, generous cookbook is a joy to read. Lucy Lean did a wonderful job marrying the right chefs to vintage American recipes. Jose Garces Keswick Cheese Fondue, a riff on a Welsh Rare-bit from Mrs. S.T. Rorer s "Philadelphia Cook Book" of 1886, uses aged cheddar from a local creamery in Pennsylvania. All the chefs in the book sound so proud to show off their reinventions. And they should be! The chef s tips sidebars throughout will help us at home turn out dishes destined to be new American classics."
