What is inside

30 recipes selected automatically from the Textual Chef recipe index. Chosen from the American recipes on the site, one version per dish, spread across courses so no single course fills the book. The list is fixed once published, so a later site update never reshuffles a book someone already bought; corrections to the recipe text do reach the file.

30 recipes, median total time 35 minutes, prep included. All 30 are American, grouped by course. Each one is also free to read on the site; the links below open them.
