The All-American Christmas Cookbook
This compilation of favorite family recipes from coast to coast includes one dish from every state. Traditional fare―Maine’s lobster chowder and Alabama’s pecan divinity―pair with innovative delights such as Hawaii’s pineapple–macadamia nut loaf cake with pineapple sauce. A two-page spread for each state details the recipe’s origins, ingredients, and recipe steps, along with vintage images from the early and mid-1900s. A menu planner breaks down recipes by category to help you choose courses. By Georgia Orcutt and John Margolies, 2008, $16.95. Visit chroniclebooks.com.
