The best in American cooking; recipes

by Clementine Paddleford

Here is a veritable gold mine of regional and traditional food which includes hundreds of treasured family recipes gathered from American housewives in 42 states and a few specialties from famous restaurants, governors' mansions and even the dining room of the U.S. Senate. Some dishes were served at formal meals in elegant settings, others were sampled at clambakes, picnics and barbecues. Every type of food is included, from hearty soups to tempting desserts, and because American women have always been particularly proud of their baking skills, there are recipes galore for breads, biscuits and rolls, pies, cakes and cookies. Originally published as "How America Eats", this new edition contains all of the more 800 superb recipes collected by Clementine Paddleford on her energetic travels from Maine to California, Florida to Alaska. As food editor of 'This Week' magazine and the 'New York Herald Tribune she had a large and devoted following, and readers who may have clipped and saved recipes from her columns will rejoice to find the best of them preserved in book form. Every cook will welcome the variety of new and "different" dishes to be found here. All recipes were tested by the Herald Tribune Home Institute prior to their original publication.
