This book is an All-American picture-heavy cookbook with only recipes and pictures. The only paragraphs you'll see in this book are in the short introduction and acknowledgments. If you are looking for a picture cookbook with lots of recipes showing you every step to prepare delicious American meals, you have come to the right place.

Mama Bella has traveled to 48 of 50 states and has lived in 8 states. She has lived in the south, the southeast, the northeast, the midwest, the northwest, the west, and the southwest. All the recipes in this book are inspired from foods in America. Even the tacos, teriyaki, and lasagna in this book are westernized for today's modern America. Tacos in Wetumpka, Alabama taste nothing like the tacos in Chino, California. The lasagna in Bloomington, Indiana tastes very different from lasagna in Okeechobee, Florida. And teriyaki tastes light years different in Kona, Hawaii than it does in Plymouth, Massachussetts.

Mama Bella has lived, worked, ate, or studied within all of those locations and fell in love with the flavors of each region. The recipes in this book can be good for entertaining or for jazzing up your family meals, and the desserts are kid-approved

Many of these recipes can be cooked using an electric skillet or a small kitchenette. No oven and no microwave used in this book. It is recommended you have a stovetop with up to two burners. All of the foods are made from scratch, even the dough and pasta, so if you have access to a handcrank pasta maker, you can learn to make your own delicious lasagna noodles.
