New Great American Writers Cookbook

A treasure trove of recipes submitted by the country s most celebrated authors. Originally published in 1981, this all-new collection features a wide range of recipes, with dishes and anecdotes offered by writers of every imaginable stripe, ethnicity, region, and culture in America. This unusually tangy assortment of more than 150 recipes runs the gamut from tofu to chili. The collection gives particular emphasis to contemporary southern writers -- Padgett Powell, Jack Butler, Larry Brown, Ellen Gilchrist, Josephine Humphreys, and others -- although their recipes are often far from being quintessentially Southern. A collector s item for food-doting lovers of American literature. A joy to read. The recipes are poetry from our best writers.
