HUGE Price Drop on this HUGE Cookbook with Recipes from All Over the U.S. Now $2.99.
Was $37.99; now $2.99. That's considering just the digital list price (not the print list price, which would make the percentage even greater), and makes for a 92% markdown on the book!
If for some reason you do not buy the book, I'm sure that you'll want to take a look at two luscious-sounding dessert recipes from the book that are on the Amazon webpage. I think that I would like the Black Raspberry Bars most. Yum. One Big Table: 600 recipes from the nation's best home cooks, farmers, fishermen, pit-masters, and chefs. By Molly O'Neill. Rated 4.4 stars, from 50 reviews at the present moment. Print list price $50.00; digital list(?) price $37.99; Kindle price now $2.99. Simon & Schuster, publisher. 864 pages. http://www.amazon.com/One-Big-Table-...2WWEKJDPTKSZST. Book Description Ten years ago, former New York Times food columnist Molly O’Neill embarked on a transcontinental road trip to investigate reports that Americans had stopped cooking at home. As she traveled highways, dirt roads, bayous, and coastlines gathering stories and recipes, it was immediately apparent that dire predictions about the end of American cuisine were vastly overstated. From Park Avenue to trailer parks, from tidy suburbs to isolated outposts, home cooks were channeling their family histories as well as their tastes and personal ambitions into delicious meals. One decade and over 300,000 miles later, One Big Table is a celebration of these cooks, a mouthwatering portrait of the nation at the table. Meticulously selected from more than 20,000 contributions, the cookbook’s 600 recipes are a definitive portrait of what we eat and why. In this lavish volume—illustrated throughout with historic photographs, folk art, vintage advertisements, and family snapshots—O’Neill celebrates heirloom recipes like the Doughty family’s old-fashioned black duck and dumplings that originated on a long-vanished island off Virginia’s Eastern Shore, the Pueblo tamales that Norma Naranjo makes in her horno in New Mexico, as well as modern riffs such as a Boston teenager’s recipe for asparagus soup scented with nigella seeds and truffle oil. Many recipes offer a bridge between first-generation immigrants and their progeny—the bucatini with dandelion greens and spring garlic that an Italian immigrant and his grandson forage for in the Vermont woods—while others are contemporary variations that embody each generation’s restless obsession with distinguishing itself from its predecessors. O’Neill cooks with artists, writers, doctors, truck drivers, food bloggers, scallop divers, horse trainers, potluckers, and gourmet club members. In a world where takeout is just a phone call away, One Big Table reminds us of the importance of remaining connected to the food we put on our tables. As this brilliantly edited collection shows on every page, the glories of a home-cooked meal prove how every generation has enriched and expanded our idea of American food. Every recipe in this book is a testament to the way our memories—historical, cultural, and personal—are bound up in our favorite and best family dishes. As O’Neill writes, "Most Americans cook from the heart as well as from a distinctly American yearning, something I could feel but couldn’t describe until thousands of miles of highway helped me identify it in myself: hometown appetite. This book is a journey through hundreds of ‘hometowns’ that fuel the American appetite, recipe by recipe, bite by bite." Last edited by GtrsRGr8; 07-24-2015 at 03:56 AM. |

Very Highly Rated, Heavily Marked Down Southern? Floridian? Cookbook and More.
This book has stellar ratings, and is heavily marked down. I know that there are Southern recipes in it--150 to be exact (no, I didn't count them myself--it says so on the cover). Fine. I bought the ebook.
What I am confused about is whether or not the recipes are Florida recipes or general Southern recipes. The word "Cracker" keeps being thrown around. In the book description, it appears that whoever wrote it is using "Cracker" synonymously with "Southerner." In point of fact, "Cracker" refers only to a Floridian--originally to one of a particular group of Floridians many years ago, and now accomodatively of any Floridian or perhaps just Florida natives. A little more reading in the book hopefully will clear up the mystery. Whether it's general Southern food or Florida food, though, I'm glad to have this cookbook. The Cracker Kitchen: A Cookbook in Celebration of Cornbread-Fed, Down Home Family Stories and Cuisine. By Janis Owens. Rated 4.8 stars, from 37 reviews at the present moment. Print list price N/A; digital list(?) price $16.99; Kindle price now $3.99. Scribner, publisher. 305 pages. http://www.amazon.com/Cracker-Kitche...FB3R9NP5ZK4TXX. Book Description Though our roots are in the Colonial South, we Crackers are essentially just another American fusion culture, and our table and our stories are constantly expanding -- nearly as fast as our waistlines. We aren't ashamed of either, and we're always delighted with the prospect of company: someone to feed and make laugh, to listen to our hundred thousand stories of food and family and our long American past. Crackers, rednecks, hillbillies, and country boys have long been the brunt of many jokes, yet this old Southern culture is a rich and vibrant part of American history. In The Cracker Kitchen, Janis Owens traces the root of the word Cracker back to its origins in Shakespeare's Elizabethan England -- when it meant braggart or big shot -- through its proliferation in America, where it became a derogatory term to describe poor and working-class Southerners. This compelling anthropological exploration peels back the historic misconceptions connected with the word to reveal a breed of proud, fiercely independent Americans with a deep love of their families, their country, their stories, and, most important, their food. With 150 recipes from over twenty different seasonal menus, The Cracker Kitchen offers a full year's worth of eating and rejoicing: from spring's Easter Dinner -- which includes recipes for Easter Ham, Green Bean Bundles, and, of course, Cracklin' Cornbread -- to summer's Fish Frys, fall's Tailgate Parties, and winter's In Celebration of Soul, honoring Martin Luther King, Jr. Recounted in Owens's delightful and hilarious voice, the family legends accompanying each of these menus leap off the page. We meet Uncle Kelly, the Prince of the Funny Funeral Story, who has family and friends howling with laughter at otherwise solemn occasions. We spend a morning with Janis and her friends at a Christmas Cookie Brunch as they bake delectable gifts for everyone on their holiday lists. And Janis's own father donates his famous fundamentalist biscuit recipe; truly a foretaste of glory divine. The Cracker Kitchen is a charming, irresistible celebration of family, storytelling, and good old-fashioned eating sure to appeal to anyone with an appreciation of Americana. |

Recipebook of Aunt Bee's Delightful Desserts from the Andy Griffith Show. 90% M/D!
Yeah, I know it's kind of cheesy (no pun intended), but the book has a huge markdown (90% from the digital list price) on it right now and super-high ratings. I haven't determined if the high ratings are for the recipes or for the stories, photographs, and such, related to the Andy Griffith Show, or both, however. Too, non-U.S. Mobilereaders may not be familiar with the Andy Griffith Show (it's a situation comedy that has remained popular since it first came on the air 50 years ago) and so will not understand some things in the book.
The book is published by Thomas Nelson, a publisher of books for Christians, so there may be some Christianity-related references, et al. Aunt Bee's Delightful Desserts. By Ken Beck; Jim Clark. Rated 4.8 stars, from 20 reviews at the present moment. Print list price N/A; digital list price $9.99; Kindle price now $0.99. Thomas Nelson, publisher. 276 pages. http://www.amazon.com/Aunt-Bees-Deli...88DV6Q4AHZEN09. Book Description Aunt Bee's Delightful Desserts is filled with over 250 recipes for the lip-smacking desserts Aunt Bee and friends used to cook up on The Andy Griffith Show. From candies and cakes to rare photos from the show to trivia, this cookbook brings home all the sweet flavor of Mayberry. Illustrated and indexed. Last edited by GtrsRGr8; 07-25-2015 at 01:04 AM. |
