American Gastronomy: An Illustrated Portfolio of Recipes and Culinary History by Louis Szathmáry

The noted chef and culinary celebrity drew upon his vast collection of culinariana to produce this history with recipes of food in America. After his death in 1996 Szathmary’s 400,000-item culinary arts collection including menus became the foundation for the Culinary Archives and Museum at Johnson & Wales University in Providence, Rhode Island.
