than the last."

"A deep dive in American cooking over the last century…a fantastic
resource."

"This cookbook is superb…Dare we even say it may just be the best
cookbook (meaning the most useful for a home cook) that we've seen
cross our desk in years?"
*Jenn Garbee - LA Weekly*
"Wonderfully diverse…there is not another cookbook like it. It is a
fitting addition to any collection."

"The book lives up to its name. Everything is here—from straight-up
meatballs and soups and roasts to obscurities like a rum omelet and
the amazing Teddie's Apple Cake."

"Hesser, whose witty bent permeates every page, does a more than
admirable job with this stellar collection of more than 1,400
recipes, the results of which should grace the shelves of every
food-lover."
