Route 66 Cookbook: Comfort Food from the Mother Road (75th Anniversary Edition)

Author: Marian Clark

America's most legendary highway, Route 66, stretches an unforgettable 2,400 miles from Illinois to California and straight through the American psyche. John Steinbeck, Woody Guthrie and carloads of families from the 1920s to the 1960s threaded their way west and east, stopping at justly celebrated restaurants that blossomed along the way. Successful road guides exist, but only Marion Clark's The Route 66 Cookbook provides a culinary guide to what Steinbeck dubbed "The Mother Road." Featuring over 250 delicious recipes from places like the U Drop Inn, the Covered Wagon Trading Post, the Pig Hip, and the Bungalow Inn, this cookbook recreates old 66, with stories from waitresses and cooks who poured the coffee and baked the pies.

Chicago Tribune

The Route 66 Cookbook is a classic in its own right. The recipes we tested were easy, worked well and were very enjoyable. Short of getting into the old roadster and taking off, this book might be one of the best ways to get your kicks and some mighty fine food.
