Sometimes I rediscover a cookbook and plan a meal plan almost exclusively out of it. This time it was the Good Housekeeping Illustrated American Cookbook, which we received as a wedding gift and has a full color section at the beginning that is much more mouth-watering to thumb through than the actual recipe section. It's a nice cookbook that focuses on authentic American fare and made me feel kind of culinarily patriotic and proud to be certain that "American Food" isn't limited to hamburgers and pizza.
