The book is The Taste of America by Karen Hess and John L. Hess. Both
gone now.

I've just finished reading this wonderful book - utterly fascinating.
I'm very grateful to you for bringing it to my attention. I love the
overall tone, which cheered me up no end.


The library had indeed bought if for me but I shall have to buy a copy
for myself (and also one each for my half-french daughters, who, like
me, have had 'mastering the art' always somewhere to hand).

What do you make of her trenchant views on Ms. Child, who seems to be
fairly well thought of on fr.rec.cuisine? (I mean as a cook, not as a
person).

I have not ready anything by this author, but I think anyone who is
seriously critical of Julia Child as a cook should be seriously ignored.
