Summary: Excellent General Cookbook
Review: I am a cookbook addict (I have 100+ cookbooks in my collection) and the USA Cookbook is one of my favorites! Sheila Lukins has a wonderful collection of recipes in this book. Many times I buy cookbooks thinking that the recipes sound great, and then I never actually make anything. I didn't have that problem with this book as I've made several different dishes. There's a cherry ice cream recipe in it that my family really enjoys!

This is a great general cookbook to have on hand. It covers a variety of dishes and the recipes are simple enough for most cooks to manage easily. (You might want to note that I am the kind of cook who likes to make things from scratch, but I'm not always in the mood for something really complicated, either). Because the recipes are delicious, simple, and would appeal to most people, this book would be a great gift for someone who likes to cook.

One of the things I enjoy most about this book is its style. The author includes informational commentary about regional cuisine and useful food facts besides just the recipes. I think this is what prompted me to purchase another one of her cookbooks, The New Basics. I think I like this book a little better, but both are wonderful.

Summary: Delicious
Review: There are a lot of really nice recipes in this books. The cakes and muffins in particular turn out well. The lemon poppyseed loaf, zucchini loaf and breakfast muffins are recipes I keep returning to time after time. A lot of the main dish recipes are quite time consuming to prepare and have a lot of ingredients in them but can be worth it. This book is really for the person who likes to spend time cooking and not if you can only spend a half an hour to fix dinner. Although I love this book my one complaint would be the high fat content of alot of the recipes. In some of them you would know that it is just not necessary - for example - a whole cup of oil that is not drained off in the Jambalaya. It is not for those watching their weight or their cholesterol.

Summary: Delicious
Review: This is amazing collection from around the country, and she describes the places where she dined and found these dishes. She is knowledgable chef, as her work with the Silver Palate fame shows.

In this work, she organizes different from other cookbooks: this is by type of meal, i.e. Coffee Break, Dinnertime, Cocktail Hour, etc. Neat Approach!

I'm about venturing out and stretching myself with such as Berrty-Stewed Rabbit and Sour Cherry Lamb Shanks, but there is also the solid favorites as Fried Chicked served "Super Crispy Buttermilk" style and other red, white and blue favorites.

This is good, solid cookbook for a new cook or bride, etc. Great as a gift. I've given this one and received compliments for its usefulness. Much to explore in this excellent researched and presented huge volume (over 600 pages.)
