Synopsis

Great recipes are family treasures and America’s culinary legacy. But what should be enduring heirlooms are easily lost gone out of fashion, or locked up in one cook’s recipe box. Endangered Recipes showcases dishes in danger of extinction homey favorites, the kind of food eaten on the summer porch, at the neighbor's house, or with your grandparents. Lari Robling unearths almost-forgotten classics such as Welsh Rarebit, Green Goddess Dressing, and French Onion Dip. The recipes she’s collected reflect the extraordinary range of American cooking, from Parker House Rolls to Crispy Fried Chicken to Rice Pudding. This new paperback edition includes 80 recipes, along with Robling’s cooking memories and great food stories, sidebars that spotlight people who are "recipe rescuers," and a guide to preserving your family’s food legacy. Now is the perfect time to begin saving and savoring these beloved dishes.

From Publishers Weekly:

Robling, a regular contributor to the radio show A Chef's Table, has assembled a beautifully designed collection of 80 recipes for foods that have faded into culinary obscurity. The author believes that "the nostalgic memories created by food are, without a doubt, the most evocative and compelling of all." Therefore, "all these foods must be saved." From simple entries like Tomato Soup and Marshmallows to comforting favorites like Parker House Rolls and Crockpot Apple Butter, many of the recipes are sure to evoke warm memories for most readers. Photographs by Mark Thomas are both enticing and affectionately kitschy. Chapter organization is somewhat illogical, however; readers searching for a homey dessert might not know whether to look in Sunday Suppers, Messy Food, or Home Before Dark. But with such an eclectic mix, that's understandable-and the exploration required to find just the right recipe is like taking a stroll back through the decades.
