About this title

Synopsis

What's more American than fried chicken and apple pie? Join Georgia Orcutt and John Margolies on a cross-country culinary journey to find all the delicious possibilities.

Louisiana Chicken Gumbo, Maryland Crab Cakes, Washington Apple Dumplings -- each state offers its own scrumptious slice of America. Full of fun facts (Who knew Delaware was home to the world's largest frying pan? Or that Oregon is the number one blackberry producer in the U.S.?) plus colorful artwork reminiscent of small-town life of yesteryear, this collection of regional flavors truly celebrates the tastes of the States.
