About the Book

Who doesn't like apples? Cooked or raw, these cousins of roses are a favorite American food, showing up in desserts, salads, breads, even main dishes, and, of course, as just about the best and easiest snack food on the planet. The Great American Apple sings the praises of this noble fruit and shows its importance in the American diet and psyche throughout the history of this great nation. Patricia B. Mitchell began foodwriting in the early 1970s as a contributor to The Community Standard magazine in New Orleans. Since 1986 she has authored more than one hundred titles on food and lifestylehistory, with well over three-quarters of a million copies sold.

The Great American Apple is also available in a Compact Edition, which has an Amazon Kindle eBook version (Ad*).
