AMERICAN FOOD: The Gastronomic Story Now Available in New Paperback Edition

Legendary cookbook editor and author Judith Jones is profiled in The New York Times Dining Section today. Judith's late husband and collaborator, Evan Jones, authored Overlook's seminal American Food, recently released in a revised and updated paperback edition. Ms. Jones graciously provided a new introduction to the book, which features more than 500 distinctive regional, traditional, and contemporary recipes. No less a figure than James Beard called American Food "a great addition to American gastronomic lore . . a true joy."

Hey, it's August, take a trip your local Farmer's market or roadside stand and get all the sweet corn and fresh peaches you can carry home.

AMERICAN FOOD in the New York Daily News

Jay Cheses of the New York Daily News today credits American Food by Evan Jones for "providing recipes for everything from corn pone and catfish to Polish treats." So, in honor of Blueberry Season, we thought we'd offer you a recipe for the famous Durgin Park Blueberry Cake. The World Famous Durgin Park in Faneuil Hall is as quintessentially Boston as Beans, Tea Parties and a double *off* the Green Monster. Enjoy!
