註釋"Everyone knows there's more to American food than steak and potatoes, but only recently has our national cuisine begun to receive the recognition it deserves. Observing the burgeoning interest in American cooking, noted food writer John Mariani decided to get it all down. The result : this much-needed counterpart to France's 'Larousse Gastronomique'. Here is the first book that fully explores and chronicles the vast array of American food, wine, and drink and the way we speak of it, consume it, and have changed it over the centuries. Spiced with fascinating etymological tidbits and gastronomical lore and enriched with over five hundred recipes for classic American dishes, this delectable and comprehensive volume will give you the last word on hot dogs and Coke, chitterlings and chimichangos, hush puppies and Harvey Wallbangers, as well as a history of Prohibition, Ben Franklin's opinion on turkey, a discourse on food additives, a survey of lunch-counter slang, and much, much more. Over 500 recipes ; slang terms for foods and beverages ; regional specialties and variations on national dishes ; up-to-date information on federal food standards, regulations, and additives ; foreign dishes transformed by American cooks ; first references in print to specific foods ; origins of popular cocktails and their names ; a history of winemaking in the United States." --
