America Eats: Forms of Edible Folk Art by Weaver, William W - 1989

New York: Harper & Row, 1989.

Sponsored by Museum of American Folk Art, America Eats is about the culinary heart of the American people... about the relationship of folk cookery -- the cookery of the common man -- to folk art and the kinship these two ideas share when they come together in the American kitchen.

The book features 50 color and 40 black/white illustrations of kitchen artifacts like a wooden candy mold, a wafer iron that imprints the Great Seal of the U.S., and a butter paddle carved out of one piece of wood.

Dishes such as Mush Muffins, Baltimore Crab Gumbo, Training Cake and Green Tomato Pie offer samples of the wide range of regional and ethnic styles throughout the country. It's a beautiful book for cook, collector and anyone interested in the history of American culture!

Condition is As New, with no apparent defects inside or out -- or on the dust jacket! A great gift book!
