What is American cooking? Fried chicken and apple pies are part of it--but what about sweet and sour pork or gnocchi with basil? Saveur Cooks Authentic American, created by the editors of the like-named food magazine, includes just such recipes, true examples of America's all-embracing, melting-pot cuisine. Readers interested in exploring traditional and contemporary American food--from neighbourhood Italian to Hawaiian fusion, from Louisiana Arcadian to California wine country, and more--will want this book.Organised by courses or food types, the book offers more than 150 accessible recipes, lavishly illustrated by over 400 colour photos. Readers will find exemplary versions of favourite dishes, such as Carter Rochelle's Real Texas Chili, Aunt Gillie's Matzo Ball Soup and a particularly tempting Lemon Meringue Pie from Alaska but will also discover Warm Chanterelle and Pancetta Salad from the Napa Valley, Lamb's Neck Stew with Polenta and chef Michael Robert's Corn Risotto. A chapter on breads offers such diverse specialities as New Mexican Corn Tortillas and Swedish Coffee Bread, a cardamom-flavoured wonder. With notes on food traditions and techniques and a final chapter devoted to that most American drink, the cocktail(recipes for drink-accompanying hors d'oeuvres are also provided), the book is a treasure-trove of good cooking American-style, as well as a tribute to its enduring newness. --Arthur Boehm
