About

Welcome to AmericanGourmetCollection.com, the web’s home for The American Gourmet Collection Cookbook by Paul and Kerri Elders, recreational cooks & freelance writers.

WARNING: This is NOT a Politically Correct Cookbook. Recipes call for butter and other modern “no-no’s.” Substitute margarine for the butter called for in the recipes if you want to cut back on fat, but remember that

the most authentic flavors are achieved with the most natural ingredients available.

Part of our nation’s greatest strength is its diversity, and we celebrate this diversity in The American Gourmet Collection Cookbook.

All recipes are made with common ingredients you probably already have in your pantry and refrigerator right now!

And our cookbook was written with both experienced chefs and newbie cooks in mind, featuring easy, time-saving, step-by-step instructions. The book contains 420 recipes in its 380 pages; you can read the book’s Introduction here or preview the inside of the book at Amazon.com.

The cookbook is available exclusively at Amazon.com; you can order your copy here.

Use the “Sections” Directory to your right to navigate through the Table of Contents and our listings of Ethnic-American favorite recipes included in the book. As you browse through the posts for the various chapters of the book, you’ll find a SAMPLE RECIPE from the book in every Chapter Post.

Happy Cooking!
