American & International Cooking / Vintage Television Cookbooks: Two-volume hardcover cookbook lot by Jeff Smith, the popular host of PBS’s The Frugal Gourmet. Together, these substantial books explore the regional, cultural, and immigrant traditions that shaped American cooking.

Included in this lot:

1. The Frugal Gourmet Cooks American — Published in 1987 by William Morrow. Features recipes and techniques from Smith’s 39-part television series, including regional American dishes, historic recipes associated with Mount Vernon and Monticello, Southern cooking, Southwestern dishes, seafood, breads, desserts, and holiday foods. ISBN 0-688-06437-0.

2. The Frugal Gourmet on Our Immigrant Ancestors: Recipes You Should Have Gotten from Your Grandmother — Stated first edition and first printing, published in 1990 by William Morrow. Smith explores approximately 35 immigrant culinary traditions, presenting recipes intended to preserve the flavors and techniques brought to America by earlier generations. ISBN 0-688-07590-8.

Both books are hardcovers with their original dust jackets. The bindings remain solid, and the interior pages are generally clean and usable. Cooks American has heavier dust-jacket wear, including edge tears, creasing, chipping, and corner wear. On Our Immigrant Ancestors has lighter jacket and cover wear but contains a handwritten Christmas 1990 gift inscription on the front endpaper. Please review all photographs for the exact condition of both books.
