"Cakes in America aren't just about sugar, flour, and frosting. They have a deep, rich history that developed as our country grew. Cakes, more so than other desserts, are synonymous with celebration and coming together for happy times. They're an icon of American culture, reflecting heritage, region, season, occasion, and era. And they always have been, throughout history. In American Cake, Anne Byrn, creator of the New York Times bestselling series The Cake Mix Doctor, takes you on a journey through America's past to present with more than 125 authentic recipes for our best-loved and beautiful cakes and frostings. Tracing cakes chronologically from the dark, moist gingerbread of New England to the elegant pound cake, the hardscrabble Appalachian stack cake, war cakes, deep-South caramel, Hawaiian Chantilly, and the modern California cakes of orange and olive oil, Byrn shares recipes, stories, and a behind-the-scenes look into what cakes we were baking back in time. From the well-known Angel Food, Red Velvet, Pineapple Upside-Down, Gooey Butter, and Brownie to the lesser-known Burnt Leather, Wacky Cake, Lazy Daisy, and Cold Oven Pound Cake, this is a cookbook for the cook, the traveler, or anyone who loves a good story. And all recipes have been adapted to the modern kitchen,"--Amazon.com.

"In Money Saving Meals and Round 2 Recipes, Sandra Lee helps readers save money one recipe at a time as she does in her highly popular Food Network show, "Sandra's Money-Saving Meals." The cookbook includes approximately 150 recipes and 90 photos, and each recipe combination offers one main dish and an additional "round two" recipe--a recipe developed using the same base ingredient as the main recipe, with the concept of buying a little more of the ingredient and making a lot more out of it. These recipes are quick, easy, and made-from-scratch-style. Each includes a cost breakdown including everyday costs, the money-saving pricing, and the total savings, so that readers see what they save and what they spend with every dish. Also included will be tips on how to save while shopping and how to be a smart shopper and clever coupon user; plus, a listing of ready-made convenience products that are cheaper to buy than to make from scratch. Finally, there will be a cost comparison on what you'd save if you cooked Sandra's way twice a week, three times a week, four times a week, and the entire week, for one year. The savings, and the value of this cookbook, will quickly add up. In these budget-conscious times, Sandra's money-saving meals will hit home with a huge audience, offering "the maximum joy with the minimum stress.""--
