Ever since American soldiers returned home after World War II with a passion for pate and escargots instead of pork and beans, our preferences have moved from cooked to raw, from canned to fresh, from bland to savory, from water to wine. And guiding us through our culinary revolution have been four of the world's finest food experts: Julia Child, Craig Claiborne, James Beard, and M. F. K. Fisher. In "Masters of American Cookery", Betty Fussell demonstrates vividly how each of these chefs has made a unique and invaluable contribution to the American way of cooking and eating. In more than two hundred recipes - in chapters on appetizers, soups, salads, sauces, meats, poultry, fish, breads, cheeses and wines, and desserts - Fussell shares the artistry of these culinary masters. She also traces the evolution of each dish and provides insightful, often witty asides about each recipe's origin. In the tradition of Waverley Root and M. F. K. Fisher herself, Fussell has combined elements of a history book, memoir, and a cookbook to create a food lover's delight. As entertaining as it is instructive, "Masters of American Cookery" belongs on the bookshelf of anyone who cares about good food. Fussell provides an introduction for this "Bison Books" edition. Betty Fussell is the author of ten books, ranging from biography to cookbooks, memoir, and food history, including "The Story of Corn". Her volume of memoirs, "My Kitchen Wars", was performed as a one-woman show in New York and Los Angeles.
