All-American Comfort Food is your ticket to a world where life is sweet, cakes are iced, pot roast and mashed potatoes are on the menu every Tuesday night, and no apologies are required. It is a timeless collection of all-American food---475 easy-to-fix recipes in which taste is king and mealtimes center on pleasure. This food tastes great, and it makes you happy. For too long, says Emily Anderson, we have felt guilty when eating the 'wrong' foods. All-American Comfort Food is organized in chapters for seasons, events, and the times in the day for eating, unlike many cookbooks with chapters on appetizers, entrees, side dishes, desserts, and so forth. Here the chapters are on country breakfasts, lunches, Sunday dinners, afternoon teas, cookouts and barbecues, picnics, buffets, snacks, and many more. The recipes are supplemented with quotations on food and cooking from a wide range of sources, many of them humorous.
