From the woman who is credited with creating what we all think of as the classic American lifestyle, Martha’s American Food presents the kinds of food all Americans love to eat: shrimp, barbecue, steak, pie, salads galore – in true Martha style, with twists that make them just a little more fresh, modern, and interesting.

In this definitive collection of classic American favorite recipes, Martha Stewart celebrates America and its diversity of food with 190 recipes  representing the very best of the country's flavors. Organized geographically and with her trademark beautiful photography that brings the food – and the people and places with which we identify them – to life, Martha’s American Food showcases Martha’s recipes for regional specialties with drinks, appetizers, soups and salads, main dishes, sides, and desserts.

Favorites include New England Clam Chowder, Chicken Potpies, and Shrimp and Grits; sides like Indiana Succotash and Fried Green Tomatoes; alcoholic and nonalcoholic beverages – from the Sazerac and Manhattans to Sour-Cherry Lemonade and Sweet Tea – and Mile-High Apple Pie, Blueberry Crisp, Coconut Cake, and Whoopie Pies for dessert. Together, these recipes reflect the unique character of each part of the country while also celebrating the deliciousness (and comfort) of American food.

Customers must purchase a copy of Martha's American Food to receive a line pass the day of the event. A line pass, book, and receipt are required to be on the signing line.  Full details are available either at Princeton Barnes & Noble Customer Service or by emailing crm2646@bn.com
