The Brooklyn Cookbook Cultural Recipes

Excellent Condition!!!!! - crease inside Dustjacket front flap Year 1991 A vintage cookbook The Brooklyn Cookbook Lyn Stallworth and Rod Kennedy, Jr. Publishers: Knopf This cookbook is a good read and cookbook. So much information about the different cultural foods in Brooklyn, NY. and from the families from where and how it all came about. If you like history and generational recipes this book is a must. "Brooklynites are fiercely loyal to the neighborhood, family, and the food that nourishes them body and soul. That is what this book celebrates. Where most immigrants once came largely from europe, they now arrived from the Caribbean and asia. Formally Scandinavian Bay Ridge is now home to greeks, Chinese and the fast-growing group of middle easterners anywhere." This book takes you through a diverse journey of recipes and traditions from all walks of life that created the Brooklyn it is today. You'll even recognize an old movie star or two. I have a copy of this book myself and it is one of my favorites. There are not pictures of the food with the recipes but the stories help you to want to experience the recipe associated with the story.
