An undisputed classic from the man who changed American cuisine forever Hailed by the New York Times as "one of the best basic cookbooks in America," The James Beard Cookbook remains as indispensable to home cooks today as it was when it was first published over fifty years ago.

In this show more comprehensive collection of simple, practical-yet-creative recipes, he shows us how to bring out the best in fresh vegetables, cook meat and chicken to perfection, and even properly boil water or an egg. From pasta to poultry, fish to fruit, and salads to sauces, this award-winning cookbook is a must-have for beginning cooks and expert chefs alike. Whether it is deviled pork chops or old-fashioned barbecue, there is not a meal in the American pantheon that Beard cannot teach us to master.

A general overview of standard, American home cooking and as such extremely disappointing. The scope is short, no subject seems adequately covered and there is little general culinary advice. This book sits on my shelf gathering dust while The Joy of Cooking gets used.
