WHY AMERICA IS A MELTING POT
An avid fan of his PBS television series’ in the 1990’s, I really looked forward to the hardbound companion cookbook, “The Frugal Gourmet On Our Immigrant Ancestors.” If I had to choose one cookbook to take along to be stranded on the proverbial desert island, it would be this one. I’ll tell you why. As I already know the basics of cooking, I can leave my trusty “Betty Crocker’s Picture Cookbook” behind. And since I might be on this desert island a long, long time, well, I do like variety, after all. This book certainly does not disappoint in this respect. The wide variety of cooking, which the millions of immigrants have brought to the United Sates, is well represented here in Mr. Smith’s book. The “foreign name,” or real name is given, along with an English translation. A ... An avid fan of his PBS television series’ in the 1990’s, I really looked forward to the hardbound companion cookbook, “The Frugal Gourmet On Our Immigrant Ancestors.” If I had to choose one cookbook to take along to be stranded on the proverbial desert island, it would be this one. I’ll tell you why. As I already know the basics of cooking, I can leave my trusty “Betty Crocker’s Picture Cookbook” behind. And since I might be on this desert island a long, long time, well, I do like variety, after all. This book certainly does not disappoint in this respect. The wide variety of cooking, which the millions of immigrants have brought to the United Sates, is well represented here in Mr. Smith’s book. The “foreign name,” or real name is given, along with an English translation. A sketched map of the region, a short history lesson, and then the recipes follow each segment. I like it presented this way, as you can choose a main dish, and then plan the rest of a complimentary menu to follow. I have made something delicious from nearly every culture in the book, and that is why I think we are a melting pot in America: we all like to eat great food, and no one cares where it originally came from. The cooking is listed alphabetically, not regionally. Here’s a partial listing of the delicious cuisines you’ll meet: Armenian, Basque, Cambodian, Cuban, Filipino, German, Hungarian, Indian, Jamaican, Japanese, Korean, Lithuanian, Moroccan, Thai, Welsh, and Yugoslavia. Yes, I left out a lot. China, Italy, and Greece will not be represented; they have their own cookbook, a must-have too. My favorites are the desserts and baking, and Shortbread, from Scotland, is a simple thing to make, and the family devours it. Be sure to bake a double recipe, as you’ll run out. Here’s the recipe, from page 448. SHORTBREAD “This is rich, and I mean rich! Real Scottish shortbread is a wonderful thing, and you certainly cannot get this flavor from a tinned product, even if it is from Scotland. Try making your own. It is great. 2 cups all-purpose flour ½ pound butter, softened 1 heaping T. cornstarch ½ cup sugar Place all of the dry ingredients in a mixing bowl, and blend well. If you have a heavy-duty mixer, cut in the butter with the machine. If not, do it by hand with a pastry blender Knead the dough by hand for just a moment and form it into a circle ¾ inch thick on a non-stick baking sheet, and flute the edges. Prick the whole circle with a fork. Bake in a preheated 325 degree oven for ½ hour, or until it JUST begins to turn a light golden brown. Allow it to cool for a few minutes, and then remove it to a rack for the final cooling. When cool, the cookie can be cut, but the Scots simply break it up into pieces and serve it with tea. Wonderful!” So you can see why I’ll have my own little culinary United Nations on my desert island: this diverse, delicious book. Melting my hunger away… Oh, but I hope I will get rescued… I might get a craving for Ravioli or Spanakopita.

Unique Cookbook for a collector
So much historical information about everyone’s ancestral past. Recipes organized by nationality with very nice drawings in each section. Recommend this to cookbook collectors as it is quite varied and educational too.

Frugal Gourmet Immigrant Ancestors
I actually have an autographed copy of this book and liked it so much I was buying one as a gift. The recipes are frequently Semi authenitc. Most of the ingrediebts are happiy available. Many of the cuisines are not available in other "international" cookbooks. I think of the Newyork Times International cookbook. It's at least 50% French. Good but not as all encompassing as The Frugal Gourmet book.I actually have an autographed copy of this book and liked it so much I was buying one as a gift.
