The Book of New New England Cookery
"Makes you feel as though you're peering into someone's recipe box.  Only it's more like a recipe library, with more than 900 of them . . . The book is a treasure, and all the more charming for having recipes for both porcupine meatballs and Greek meatballs, along with maple tea cakes and lemon cardamom cookies in the space of a single work." —New York Times
