Christopher Idone's Glorious American Food

The color photos in this big book are lush and mouthwatering. The recipes, created by the author of Glorious Food, are arranged by locale of origin; New England clam chowder and Indian pudding, Pacific coast grilled salmon, hot New Mexico salad and gazpacho, Southern pecan pie and shrimp jambalaya. Each section begins with a description of the types of food indigenous to that particular area, followed by appetizing menus (with wine and serving suggestions) and recipes. Idone has done a marvelous job in this celebration of American food. 40,000 first printing; major ad/promo; first serial to McCall's, Vogue, Signature, Texas Home; BOMC featured alternate; Better Homes & Gardens Book Club, Garden Book Club and Readers Subscription Book Club alternates.
