The Frugal Gourmet on Our Immigrant Ancestors: Recipes You Should Have Gotten from Your Grandmother

I know there's controversy over Jeff Smith's actions with young men he worked with, and while I don't know what really happened between him and those men, this cookbook of his is amazing. I've had it for many years. It's wonderfully organized with little jewels of information about each immigrant culture mentioned in the book. The recipes aren't too complicated for the average home cook. This cookbook is a keeper.
