Shines a light on what it means to cook and eat American food, in all its infinitely nuanced and ever-evolving glory.\" \u003cbr\u003e --Anthony Bourdain \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e American food is the story of mash-ups. Immigrants arrive, cultures collide, and out of the push-pull come exciting new dishes and flavors. But for Edward Lee, who, like Anthony Bourdain or Gabrielle Hamilton, is as much a writer as he is a chef, that first surprising bite is just the beginning. What about the people behind the food? What about the traditions, the innovations, the memories? \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e A natural-born storyteller, Lee decided to hit the road and spent two years uncovering fascinating narratives from every corner of the country. There's a Cambodian couple in Lowell, Massachusetts, and their efforts to re-create the flavors of their lost country. A Uyghur caf  in New York's Brighton Beach serves a noodle soup that seems so very familiar and yet so very exotic--one unexpected ingredient opens a window onto an entirely unique culture. A beignet from Caf  du Monde in New Orleans, as potent as Proust's madeleine, inspires a narrative that tunnels through time, back to the first Creole cooks, then forward to a Korean rice-flour \u003ci\u003ehoedduck\u003c\/i\u003e and a beignet dusted with matcha. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Sixteen adventures, sixteen vibrant new chapters in the great evolving story of American cuisine. And forty recipes, created by Lee, that bring these new dishes into our own kitchens.\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 320\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1 x 8.1 x 5.4 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e March 05, 2019\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51984309682477,"sku":"9781579659004","price":18.58,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0938\/3185\/6429\/files\/Um5kL3dsNDQ5MVE2UjM2alBrOVlNdz09.webp?v=1776092350","url":"https:\/\/ishookbooks.com\/products\/buttermilk-graffiti-a-chefs-journey-to-discover-americas-new-melting-pot-cuisine-paperback","provider":"iShook Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
