 American Accent 

American Accent
Still cookin' after all these years!
NOK 50, while supplies last!

Written in commemoration of the Club's 60th anniversary in 1994, American Accent is a cookbook, reference book, story book, and more! Recipes in the book are from AWC members and have been adjusted to the necessities of cooking in a Norwegian kitchen with Norwegian ingredients. With a cross-referenced index, information is easy to find.  And the attractive "wipe-clean" cover with metal spiral binding make it easy to use.

Delightful to read are two entertaining anecdotes written by Club members. They describe entertaining at home in the 1960s and in the 1990s - what to expect, what not to do, and what you shouldn't forget to do.

In the back of the book are helpful conversion tables including not only the usual temperature and weight and volume charts, but baking pan equivalents, butter measurements, and can sizes. There's even a list of the Norwegian name for spices.

Finally, there are a few inspiring recipes at the end, like the following:

Pick up your copy of American Accent at the next AWC meeting, while supplies last!  At NOK 50, it's a real steal!

 
   
   
   
   
   
   
 


Recipe for a Perfect Day

1 cup friendly words
2 rounded cups understanding
4 teaspoons time and patience
1 handful warm personality
1 dash of humor

Weigh the words carefully. Add understanding. Take your time and don't forget patience. Stir gently over an open flame together with the warm personality, but do not cook. Keep the temperature at 98.6°F and keep humor handy. Season to taste with the spices of life. Serve in individual portions.
