Perfect for you if...

You're looking for recipes that feel achievable but taste restaurant-quality, written by people who actually cook them at home.
You want American comfort food with real technique behind it: proper biscuits, fried chicken that matters, pies worth the effort.
You appreciate cookbooks that tell a story through food, with suggested menus for real occasions rather than aspirational dinner parties.

Maybe not for you if...

You prefer vegan or plant-forward cooking, as this collection leans heavily into meat, dairy, and traditional preparations.
You need quick weeknight dinners, since many of these recipes are handcrafted and require proper time and attention.
You're looking for trendy food or global cuisines. This is about American regional classics, not innovation or fusion.

About this book

Colby Garrelts, a Kansas City chef and James Beard Award winner, and his wife Megan, a James Beard semifinalist for Best Pastry Chef, present fifty American culinary classics redefined through chef-inspired techniques, quality ingredients, and regional Midwestern flavors. Made in America organizes recipes by cooking methods commonly used in American kitchens, from breakfast to the bakeshop. Many recipes are accompanied by childhood memories from Colby or Megan that trace their origins and evolution. The book includes suggested menus for occasions such as Mother's Day, Fourth of July, Back to School night, and Christmas. Sidebars feature handcrafted cocktails including the Bloody Mary, The State Fair, and the Pimm's Cup that pair with the recipes. Recipes include Biscuits and Gravy, Corn Fritters with Fresh Sheep's Milk Cheese, Quick Pickles, Panfried BBQ Pork Chops with Tomato Horseradish Sauce, Grilled Garlic-Thyme Kansas City Strips, Garrelts Fried Chicken, Lemon Meringue Pie, and Chocolate Butterscotch Cookies.
