Endangered Recipes: Too Good to Be Forgotten

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.
