America The Great Cookbook

“What do you cook for the people you love?” America’s top chefs answer that question to make the most unique cookbook of the year, America: The Great Cookbook. Take a journey across the states to celebrate the food of America, created in the homes and kitchens of 100 of our most beloved chefs and food heroes. A portion of the book’s proceeds will benefit No Kid Hungry, which helps to end childhood hunger in the United States. 

From well-known chefs like Ina Garten and Padma Lakshmi to food revolutionaries such as Ruth Reichel, find 100 of America’s top food personalities and their most treasured home recipes in this one-of-a-kind cookbook. Lavishly photographed with food and lifestyle imagery, and with a unique cover designed by a renowned artist, this gorgeous book tells the story of cooking—and making food for those we love—across America.
