Title: Good nostalgia, inauthentic recipes
Product review: Waiting with bated breath to try the recipe for Horn & Hardart's "authentic" macaroni and cheese, which I remember well from childhood, it was immediately apparent that this recipe is far from "authentic". The original recipe used a large, straight macaroni, while the book's recipe calls for "elbow macaroni". Oops. The original had bits of tomato, the book's recipe omits the tomato. Oops again. I didn't care to try what is clearly misrepresented as "authentic".Having said that, the nostalgia and history aspect of the book is quite good. But having purchased the book for the recipes, this was very disappointing. If you enjoy reading the history of the automat, this book is for you. If you're considering buying the book for the "authentic" recipes, save your money.
