The All-American Dessert Book

"Many of Nancy's finds have never been published, or even written down, before. Some of the local treasures include: an irresistibly easy blueberry buckle from a Vermont bed-and-breakfast; a tender peach cobbler from a home cook in the Ozarks who learned it from her mother; a lusciously thick chocolate-banana malted from a celebrated soda fountain in St. Louis; a supremely moist chiffon cake with a zingy orange glaze from Nancy's grandmother's "receipt" box; big, soft, glazed gingerbread cookies that were a huge favorite at a former diner in Washington, D.C.; and creamy chocolate-dipped caramels, the proprietary secret of the guild members of a New Mexico Episcopal church."--BOOK JACKET.
