Dining aboard the Fleet of Modernism: Dining Car Recipes of the Pennsylvania PRR

Description: Brand-new copy of Dining aboard the Fleet of Modernism: Dining Car Recipes of the Pennsylvania Railroad, circa 1938 sold by publisher. Summary: The Pennsylvania Railroad's dining cars were renowned for their service and food quality. The PRR's well-trained chefs and waiters provided some of the world's finest cuisine while rolling along the eastern seaboard's steel highways. The procedures and, more importantly, the recipes used to provide that service were compiled into a single volume for the staff's reference and guidance on board the train. This exact reprint of the PRR's Cooking Instructions for the Preparation of Dishes Served in Dining Cars Throughout the System is produced by The Garbely Publishing Company. From uniquely exotic 1930s recipes to the exacting specifications for the PRR's famous club sandwich or renowned salad bowl, this book contains hundreds of recipes that were originally prepared aboard a PRR dining car, including sauces, salads, sandwiches, entrees, sides, and desserts. The original cookbook dates to circa 1938, when the Raymond Loewy-designed "Fleet of Modernism" passenger cars were entering service across the PRR. Simplicity was key aboard a rolling kitchen with limited space and ingredients, and the PRR's signature dishes were designed to provide the flavor of a five-star restaurant with limited expense, time, and effort - all traits that translate well to home cooking! With many of the recipes written for cooking in bulk for a train full of passengers, this book also makes the perfect companion to any event from an upscale dinner party to a backyard barbecue. This historic book is a must-have for both the avid culinary historian and the casual railroad enthusiast.
