Book excerpt: An all-American classic: “For the first time in decades, we can revisit the best recipes from some of the best restaurants of the ’40s and ’50s.” —St. Louis Post-Dispatch Adventures in Good Cooking was a culinary landmark. Duncan Hines had left his native Kentucky and crisscrossed the country as a traveling salesman, becoming a national tastemaker in the process by reporting on the many restaurants he visited.
