Country Scrapple by William Woys Weaver
The original purpose of scrapple was to make use of leftovers from butchering, but today it is a regional favourite in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania Dutch Country, and, in varying forms and names, throughout the nation. Scrapple is typically a mush made from pig meat and cereal, which is then sliced and fried. This book by internationally renowned food historian Weaver explores the European origins of the dish, traces its evolution in American kitchens and restaurants, discusses cooking techniques and terminology, and offers an assortment of recipes, from the oldest surviving example to recent variations using nuts, venison, turkey, or Italian sausage. Recipes for scrapple condiments are also included.

American Pie by Pascale Le Draoulec
In today's treadmill, take-away world, does pie still have a place? As she traveled across the United States in an old Volvo named Betty, Pascale Le Draoulec discovered how merely mentioning homemade pie to strangers made faces soften, shoulders relax, and memories come wafting back. Rambling from town to town, you'll meet the famous, and sometimes infamous, pie makers who share their stories and recipes, and find out how a quest for pie can lead to something else entirely. Crossing class and color lines, and spanning a nation (Montana has its huckleberry, Pennsylvania its shoofly, and Mississippi its sweet potato), Pascale discovers that pie -- real, homemade pie -- has meaning for everyone.

Stuffed by Patricia Volk
A eulogy to food, family and a city. Patricia Volk's family have been in the restaurant business for three generations. At Morgen's, the famous restaurant which her father ran, she was the princess. In Stuffed, Patricia Volk evokes everyday life in a New York Jewish family and what it was like to grow up around an old-fashioned family restaurant. As much about families as it is about food, here are stories of eccentric uncles, grandparents and aunts like Aunt Ruthie who gave the burglar breaking into her apartment a meal and a lecture. There are tales of ancestors who were the first to bring pastrami to the New World and stir scallions in cream cheese. Highly entertaining, this is a charming recreation of a lost era.
