- Synopsis
- An all-American classic: &“For the first time in decades, we can revisit the best recipes from some of the best restaurants of the &’40s and &’50s.&” —St. Louis Post-Dispatch Adventures in Good Cooking was a culinary landmark. Duncan Hines had left his native Kentucky and crisscrossed the country as a traveling salesman, becoming a national tastemaker in the process by reporting on the many restaurants he visited. Eventually, his recommendations became so popular that he published his first cookbook at age fifty-nine. This bestselling collection featured recipes contributed by select restaurants from coast to coast as well as crowd-pleasing family favorites, and it helped to raise the standard for home cooking in America. Filled with succulent treats, from the Waldorf-Astoria&’s Chicken Fricassee to the Oeufs a la Russe served at Antoine&’s Restaurant in New Orleans to Mrs. Hines&’s own Christmas Nut Cake, this book includes classic recipes from top chefs and home cooks alike. Includes a new introduction by Hines biographer Louis Hatchett and a valuable guide to the art of carving
