Here are his best recipes, from the great cooking styles all over America, for black bean soup and Creole eggs, Mrs. Burgess's cheese souffle and pan~fried smelts, "my own favorite roast turkey," chilied pot roast, ham baked in cider, mushroom puree, blueberry cake with bourbon cream, glazed berry pie, and hundreds of other mouth~watering dishes. Here, as well, is Beard's advice on dozens of cooking questions from choosing meats and vegetables and preserving fruit to making real cheeseburgers. But there is even more to James Beard's American Cookery than his superb recipes. This is a book to be read and savored as well as used, an epicurean journal that with delightful prose digs deep into the history of America to trace the origins and Americanization of our cooking. It is both a practical cookbook and a nostalgic excursion into America's culinary past ~ as the author puts it, "a record of good eating in this country with some of its lore." Embellished with 144 charming illustrations, James Beard's American Cookery is a marvelous celebration of the very best of cooking in the American style. Sure to become a standard, it is a book for all tastes, all levels of cooking skill, all budgets, all types of entertaining ~ and all seasons. James Beard is one of the country's most distinguished food experts. He conducts one of the most successful cooking schools in New York, contributes to numerous magazines on cooking topics (most notably Gourmet), appears and demonstrates frequently on television, and acts as consultant to dozens of food and drink purveyors. His reputation as a cookbook writer is world~wide. N° de ref. del artículo 2182401
