PHAIDON America: The Cookbook Hardcover – Big Book, 9 October 2017

Impressed by the quality of this book. Its huge with nice pages. Also includes an enormous number of recipes!

nice collection of recipies but difficult to find recipies.

This is a remarkable survey of American cuisine, covering not only "traditional" American food but also regional cuisine introduced by recent waves of immigrants. This is a novel approach by the author, a well-established and talented foodwriter. A good concept is one thing, but execution matters, as well. And here, Langholtz and her team have done their homework, unearthing and testing scores of recipes. There's something for everyone: whether you want a quick weekday meal or snack, or want to take on a massive project like cooking barbacoa in a fire pit over a long weekend with friends, you'll find it here. I grew up in New England, and know that region's cuisine intimately. Langholtz's survey of New England cooking rings with authenticity and she engaged talented cooks to provide recipes. I marveled how essentially different regional cuisines are -- what we consider to be "American" food is really segmented along regional lines, and a great many dishes from, say, the Midwest were entirely unfamiliar to me til I came across them in "America: The Cookbook." Assembling a comprehensive, inclusive, almost encyclopedic reference such as this one is no small task, and Langholtz appears to have managed the resources available to her to complete this task successfully. I'll be referring to her work for years to come.

Un must per chi ama la cucina americana. Una miriade di ricette, ben organizzate e suddivise per area geografica e tipologia. Utilissima la tabella di conversione tra unità di misura americane ed europee.Vivamente consigliato.

Really coolNow I will need to buy one regarding exercises because 800 recepies are a lot!Would recommend it
