About this title

Synopsis

Embark on a colorful culinary journey traversing America’s Mother Road with stops to recreate the best eats along the way.

In The Route 66 Cookbook, acclaimed author and lifestyle blogger Linda Ly combines armchair travel with a traditional cookbook to celebrate 100 years of the United States’ most recognizable roadway. This unique compilation of recipes honors American transportation history with a location-specific focus, encouraging you to explore new flavors, places, and perhaps even future vacation destinations. 

Discover fascinating historical facts and figures from the route’s early days to modern attractions as you try recipes organized by state, starting from the eastern start of the route in Chicago, Illinois, and continuing all the way through to its western endpoint in Los Angeles, California, making pit stops in Missouri, Kansas, Oklahoma, Texas, New Mexico, and Arizona. From cheap, quick eats to steakhouses and fine dining, this cookbook caters to varied budgets and palates. Recipes for breakfast, lunch, and dinner all make an appearance, and drinks and desserts get their time to shine too. 

Throughout its recipes and destinations, The Route 66 Cookbook pays homage to America’s diverse cultural history. Of course, there are recipes for a variety of standard American fare, such as diner food, burgers, and multiple styles of barbecue, but German, Mexican, Asian, Indigenous, and fusion foods are also included:

• Apple Strudel – The Berghoff, Chicago, IL
• Blackberry Wine Cake – St. James Winery, St. James, MO
• Egg Cream – Monarch Pharmacy and Soda Fountain, Baxter Springs, KS
• Späetzle – Rock Cafe, Stroud, OK
• The Elvis Ugly Crust Pie – Midpoint Cafe, Adrian, TX
• New Mexican Posole – Silver Moon Cafe, Santa Rosa, NM
• Halibut Ceviche – The Turquoise Room at La Posada Hotel, Winslow, AZ
• Strawberry Margarita Pie – Chiquita Rosita's, Barstow, CA
• Spicy Seafood Soup – The Albright, Santa Monica, CA

With 66 recipes from the Midwest to the West Coast, The Route 66 Cookbook has it all, honoring an American road trip tradition and ensuring you can enjoy it even if you’re not on the road.
