A milestone publication in 20th-century American culinary history, America’s Cook Book (1937, First Edition) was compiled by the acclaimed Home Institute of the New York Herald Tribune to serve as the definitive kitchen reference guide for the modern household.
Beyond its 1,000+ recipes, menus, and instructional guides, this edition opens with a distinguished foreword by etiquette icon Emily Post, praising the book as a monumental collection for epicurean readers and home cooks.
Foreword by Emily Post: “For those whose store of treasured family ‘receipts’ has been added to by this new cookbook, compiled by many similar epicurean collectors, it is an event.”
