THE BEST OF ETHNIC HOME COOKING
by Mary Poulos Wilde. Condition: UNREAD 1988 Warner Books Trade Paperback, first printing. Tiny edgewear with tanning to page edges. Content: Reviewer: "These are the traditional recipes that Grandmas brought with them as the came to America from Europe, Eastern Europe and the Mediterranean. Things like Basque Sheepherder's Bread, Danish Aeblekage (apple cake), German Pea soup with Bacon, Greek roast leg of lamb, Hungarian sauerkraut soup, Irish stew, Jewish blintzes, Polish Krupnik, Swedish Glogg. The author says that she was inspired to write this book when she was trying to replicate a recipe for a friend who could only remember how her grandma's Polish pierogi tasted. There were no recipes available that came close, so they experimented and experimented until they got it right. That set the author on a quest to find more comfort food from the past that Grandmas made from memory. These are not recipes that call for a can of Cream of Mushroom Soup and a package of pre-grated cheese. These tell you to go get the cabbage, onions, carrots, and a sprig of rosemary, so they are full of vitamins, flavors, and comfort." Questions welcome. [1 copy available]

An ardent proponent of quickly cooked sauce, she divides her 45 recipes into five varieties for use on pasta, pizza, risotto and more: basic, quick, vegetarian, with meat (the only long-simmering kind) and with seafood. She stresses the simplicity of Italian-made sauces and the techniques whereby an American kitchen can turn out a delicious sauce in which the tomato is made to "taste like a tomato."
