"No Travel" Roadfood

I read here that many people live in areas where there is no Roadfood to be had. If you like to cook and would like some adventuresome Roadfood meals, you should buy copies of Jane and Michael Stern's cookbooks. They all have great recipes; most from Roadfood restaurants. The books I have are
A TASTE OF AMERICA

REAL AMERICAN FOOD

SQUARE MEALS

AMERICAN GOURMET


Each of these books have regional restaurant recipes. I have tried many of them and they are wonderful.........................this is a fun way to have ROADFOOD at home. Just pick the area of the country you wish to dine in and get a couple of recipes and you can "travel" without spending money on gas.

I've actually made "New Joes Special" using ground turkey instead of ground beef and egg whites without the yolk. With a side of garlic bread it's actually not bad!

I have ROAD FOOD
SQUARE MEALS (signed by the Sterns!) and
THE FAMOUS DUTCH KITCHEN COOKBOOK

I enjoy them all

"Square Meals" is how I learned about the Sterns and became hooked. I have made the baked spaghetti and macaroni and cheese.

Emsmom - I'm jealous!

Thanks!

This, I can do.

I have Chili Nation and couldn't recommend it more. The Havana Moon Chili has been permanently added to my repetroire.

I also have one of their non-food related books, The Encyclopedia of Bad Taste, signed by the recently, dearly-departed Grampy. Something tells me it will become even more of a collector's item now............

I've made several dishes out of American Gourmet. It's fun to try some of the more campy dishes------gives a great conversation starter to a meal.

You should put it on ebay!

Square Meals really appealed to me. I tried to get it on Amazon, but they said it was out of print?? I thought it was reissued. Anyone know any other way to purchase it? i am looking forward to the new Roadfood Cookbook!

I ordered my Sqare Meals direct from the Sterns. They had several cases at the time and was offering it at a special price and they even signed the copy that they sent me. Their e mail addres is in their profile

Funny, but I ordered Square Meals from Amazon just a few minutes ago. I think they have five left.

Slick, those 5 books from Amazon are not sold directly from amazon but from independent sellers. I've had bad experiences using that method and prefer to buy a new copy anyway!(Those 5 were used) Thanks for the info though! I'll try to e-mail the Stearns. Have a good day!

Hey, I have Chili Nation, too! I didn't realize it was a Stern book! I made a recipe or two out of it when I was a pup, but now I have my own ideas about Red. But it's a great food book.
