Reviews

"This ode to down-home cooking is a colorful tapestry of our nation's culinary character. The 'By the Bowl' chapter alone represents a deliciously warm blanket of Americana." -Howie Southworth, author of One Pan To Rule Them All and Kiss My Casserole "My taste buds drool as I flip through The American Table's easy-to-follow recipes for what author Larry Edwards aptly calls 'the epitome of world culinary history'-comfort food we have all come 'to love, cherish, and remember.' I'm eager to prepare and savor my initial menu of choice: Sweet Potato Biscuits, Corn Chowder, Indian Pudding, Broccoli Salad, and Maple Bourbon Cake (with real! maple syrup). You, too, are welcome to taste." -Willard Roth, author of Mennonite Men Can Cook, Too "Comfort food-what's not to like? I was so excited to get this book. I've lived all across this great country of ours, so comfort food from around America was exciting to me! . . . Fried Green Tomatoes are a Southern classic that I grew up on and even though I don't need a recipe to make them, this one is spot on. . . . Buttermilk Biscuits and Baking Powder Biscuits are two more that I grew up with and still make to this day! A good portion of recipes in this book are good or look good (I haven't gotten to cook all of them yet!) . . ." -Sandra's Kitchen Nook "This ode to down-home cooking is a colorful tapestry of our nation's culinary character.
