America the Great Cookbook (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9781681882826)

We asked America's best chefs a personal question: What do you love to cook for the people that you love? And they answered in America The Great Cookbook -- the ultimate celebration of the most delicious food to be discovered in the country today, in all its glorious diversity, from our top chefs, artisan producers, and fascinating food heroes.

"This a beautiful book, with stunning photography not only of the delicious recipes but with gorgeous portraits of some of America's most lauded culinary figures. Want to know how they eat off duty? This book will show you and make it easy to replicate in your own home. All while helping a worthy cause. A must have for any serious food library." - Padma Lakshmi

"For chefs who are passionate about nourishing and nurturing guests in their restaurants, there's an equally powerful drive to feed community members who don't have enough. The recipes in America the Great Cookbook, collectively in support of Share Our Strength's incredible No Kid Hungry initiative, get at the heart of that instinct while invoking a culinary tradition as beautifully diverse, dynamic, and imprecise as America itself." - Danny Meyer, Founder and CEO, Union Square Hospitality Group, and Author, Setting the Table

"America The Great Cookbook is as delicious, dynamic, and diverse as the cooks who fill its pages, and who make this country so unique. Overflowing with poignant stories of food and community, as well as smart, personal recipes from coast to coast, it's as much an authentic portrait of the American experience as it is a resource for inspired home cooking. This book and its mission are sure to enrich our dinner tables, and countless children's lives for years to come!" - Gail Simmons, Food Critic, TV Host, and Author of Bringing It Home: Favorites Recipes from a Life of Adventurous Eating
