Title: Historic Classic
Product review: The beauty of this cookbook is its timelessness. It was first written when people who cooked automatically knew basic terms. Therefore, the recipes are straightforward and not ostentatious. Claiborne also assumes a certain amount of confidence that the reader has, so his writing style doesn't make the home cook feel stupid or uninformed.Even if you already have three or four cookbooks you regularly use as your bible, buy this one for the value of understanding where the American gastronomic movement came from. It was pushed forth partially by Claiborne.
