Product Description
What could be a more fun and delicious way to celebrate American culture than through the lore of our favorite foods? That's what John T. Edge does in his smart, witty, and compulsively readable new series on the dishes everyone thinks their mom made best. If these are the best-loved American foods-ones so popular they've come to represent us-what does that tell us about ourselves? And what do the history of the dish and the regional variations reveal?
There are few aspects of life that carry more emotional weight and symbolism than food, and in writing about our food icons, Edge gives us a warm and wonderful portrait of America -by way of our taste buds. After all, "What is patriotism, but nostalgia for the foods of our youth?" as a Chinese philosopher once asked.

Curious about pie and the people who make them... January 10, 2008
J. Johnson (Tempe, AZ)
Mr. Edge crossed the country in search of the perfect apple pie and how it connects to the people who bake them. He found many more bad pies than good. Fortunately, he shares with us the highlights of his journey. His stories affirm that great apple pie is as rich and varied as the (American) people who bake them. I started baking pies because, 1. fresh pie is so great, 2. nobody else would make them for me, and 3. commercial pies are too sweet and mushy. The Apple Pie book tells me that I am not alone as a snob of the not-so-fancy apple pie. Thank you Mr. Edge for finding all these pie bakers, for telling their stories, and for sharing their recipes.
