Summary:

Great recipes are family treasures and America's culinary legacy. But what should be enduring heirlooms are easily lost -- gone out of fashion or locked up in one cook's recipe box. Endangered Recipes showcases recipes in danger of extinction -- homey favorites, the kind of food eaten on the summer porch, at a neighbor's house, or with your grandparents. Food writer Lari Robling has tapped into America's food memory bank to unearth almost-forgotten classics such as Welsh Rarebit, Green Goddess Dressing, and Nashville House Fried Biscuits with Crockpot Apple Butter. She also presents recipes for dishes we eat all the time but are endangered simply because we never make them from scratch anymore -- Tomato Soup, Macaroni and Cheese, and Banana Pudding all taste better when they don't come out of a box or can. And since favorite family recipes also reflect the diversity of American families, Robling includes authentic recipes for several international favorites such as Borscht and Korean Steak on Fire. Endangered Recipes is also peppered with Robling's own cooking memories and some of the great food stories she's encountered, as well as sidebars that spotlight the people who are "recipe rescuers." A practical guide to preserving your own family's food legacy -- its recipes and stories -- is also included. With gorgeous retro photographs by Mark Thomas and more than 75 easy-to-make recipes, Endangered Recipes is a must-have for anyone who loves good stories and wonderful food.
