This is a companion book to one of Marcia Adams' PBS series, which I used to enjoy watching when it was on PBS here.
This book is divided into seasons with more categories under each.
She includes postcards with information about the people and places she's visited collecting her heirloom recipes and often some background information. You will also often come across a page of travel notes about the places she has visited and what she did during her travels. This book is filled not only with treasured recipes from all over the US but, interesting reading material as well.
Scattered thru out the book are pictures of antique kitchen tools. All the photos are black and white which gives it an old timey feeling and I think this goes great with the recipes she chose to include. If you enjoy some history along with your recipes you'll love this one.
