Though the recipes are attractive--in some cases even prizewinning--readers should note that they've been reproduced from original sources apparently without much editing. Thus, they come with numerous errors (for example, one dish calls for 2 to 3 cups of blueberries without specifying why to choose which amount, and another requires rice to be cooked until "crunchy"), and recipe yields are routinely neglected. Seasoned cooks can no doubt fill in the blanks, but novice cooks should check the recipes carefully to avoid frustration. The book's great value lies in introducing readers to the unexpected universe of American food festivals, and therefore to many fascinating regional culinary traditions. Amusingly illustrated by cartoonist Tom Klare, and with schedules of the festivals by month and a festival directory, the book provides a compelling glimpse of culinary Americana. --Arthur Boehm
