The result of a nationwide contest for the best heirloom recipes, America’s Best Lost Recipes delivers foolproof heirloom recipes you’ll really want to make.

Featured recipes include 'Grandma Ruth's' Brisket, Vidalia Onion Pie, Amish Sweet and Sour Pickled Eggs, and Hummingbird Cake (a Southern favorite packed with nuts and fruit and cream cheese frosting). You’ll find these recipes and more like them in America’s Best Lost Recipes, a book that grew out of a nationwide contest for the best heirloom recipes with recipes selected and put through their paces by the editors of Cook’s Country magazine.

This collection features food you will want to make for friends and family while test kitchen notes tell the story of our recipe testing -- what worked, what didn’t and what you need to know to be successful in the kitchen. And each recipe features an introduction placing recipes in historical context and sharing excerpts from the personal stories behind them. A slice of Americana, America’s Best Lost Recipes aims to preserve the best our culinary heritage has to offer.

Bound in a kitchen-friendly lay flat binding, America’s Best Lost Recipes is packed with full color photos, notes from the test kitchen staff, troubleshooting tips, and step-by-step illustrations.
