Ever heard of Cold-Oven Pound Cake, Hummingbird Cake, Mile-High Bologna Pie, or Mashed-Potato Fudge? You'll find these recipes and more like them in America's Best Lost Recipes, a book that grew out of a nationwide contest for the best heirloom recipes, with recipes selected and put through their paces by the editors of Cook's Country magazine. Evocative of both family ties and our national heritage, recipes like these are powerful touchstones for the past. Packed with full-color photos, this collection features food you will want to make for friends and family, and test kitchen notes tell the story of our recipe testing - what worked, what didn't, and what you need to know to be successful in the kitchen. A slice of Americana, America's Best Lost Recipes aims to preserve the best our culinary heritage has to offer.
