...Clint Eastwood, the way to make your day is to sample his hearty apple pie. Eastwood, the actor turned mayor of Carmel-by-the-Sea, Calif., fired off the recipe to The Mayors' Cookbook (Acropolis Books; $14.95), a collection of more than 300 city leaders' favorite dishes. The contents are not only eclectic but reflect a politically prudent regional loyalty: Ed Koch of New York City advocates pasta primavera and Kathryn Whitmire of Houston sings the merits of huevos con chorizo (eggs with sausage). But gourmets may balk when it comes to the Lone Star broccoli casserole, the preferred dish...

...loyal readers who suspect the Sterns of going straight, a few pie-in- the-face recipes are thrown in, including seafoam lime Jell-O mold with marshmallows and Mary Bobo's carrot casserole, a concoction made with Ritz crackers and melted cheese. It should be noted that the Sterns and Fussell give quite different recipes for New Orleans red beans and rice, yet both are credited to Buster Holmes, operator of the famous French Quarter greasy spoon.
