This is one of those cookbooks that was actually meant to be used. The Illustrated Encyclopedia of American Cooking, published in 1986 by the Editors of Favorite Recipes Press, is a big, solid American cookbook filled with straightforward recipes and full-color photographs. No trendy ingredients, no guessing games — just clear instructions and food people actually cook and eat.
The book opens and lies flat, which makes it easy to use at the counter, but the binding is still tight and intact. All pages are clean with one small handwritten note on a single page, shown in the photos. There is no staining, no spills, and no damage to the covers or pages. Inside you’ll find a wide range of classic American dishes — desserts, casseroles, meats, seafood, and everyday family cooking. This is the kind of book that lived on a kitchen shelf, not a coffee table.
If you like cookbooks that are practical, readable, and made for real life, this one still does its job well.
