All-American Comfort Food: Recipes for the Great-Tasting Food Everyone Loves
Emily Anderson
All-American Comfort Food is your ticket to a world where life is sweet, cakes are iced, pot roast and mashed potatoes are on the menu Tuesday night, and no apologies are required. It is a timeless collection of all-American food — 475 easy-to-fix recipes in which taste is king and mealtimes center on pleasure. This food tastes great, and it makes you happy.
For too long, says Emily Anderson, we have felt guilty when eating the "wrong" foods. "So what," she says, "if health nuts roll their eyes at the mere mention of marshmallows in the sweet potato salad? So what if yours is the last pound cake on the block still soaking in Jack Daniels?" Whose business is it, anyway? Really, what would life be without Velveeta in the macaroni?"
All-American Comfort Food is organized in chapters for seasons, events, and the times in the day for eating, unlike many cookbooks with chapters on appetizers, entrees, side dishes, desserts, and so forth. Here the chapters are on country breakfasts, lunches, Sunday dinners, afternoon teas, cookouts and barbecues, picnics, buffets, snacks, and many more. The recipes are supplemented with quotations on food and cooking from a wide range of sources, many of them humorous.
"It's a bad world out there, and you have to take your happiness where you find it," the author states. "Food may well be the last thing you still have any control over, so don't let anyone tell you what to eat. All-American Comfort Food is just what you need."
"All-American Comfort Food has it all. Author Emily Anderson presents the recipes in a straight-forward, easy-to-follow manner." —The Times, May 27, 1998
"Between the covers of this 274-page wonder is everything but the rich kitchen smells." —The Valley Sun, April 30, 1998
