Great recipes are nothing less than family treasures and America's culinary legacy. But what should be enduring heirlooms are easily lost - gone out of fashion, or locked up in one cook's recipe box.  Endangered Recipes showcases exactly those dishes that are in danger of extinction - homey favorites, from the kind of food eaten on the summer porch, to Sunday suppers with your grandparents.

Endangered Recipes rescues almost forgotten classics such as Welsh Rarebit, Green Goddess Dressing, and French Onion Dip.  The recipes collected reflect the extraordinary range of American cooking, from Parker House Rolls to Crispy Fried Chicken to Rice Pudding.  Now is the perfect time to begin saving - and savoring - these undervalued dishes.
