Fifty years after Craig Claibourne’s seminal The New York Times Cookbook, food writer Amanda Hesser returned to the paper’s archives to collect more than 1,000 of the paper’s best recipes – all updated for the modern home cook.
A cookbook unlike any other, The Essential New York Times Cookbook [W. W. Norton; October 25, 2010; $40.00 cloth] encompasses both innovative and classic recipes, celebrating the breadth of America’s evolving relationship with food. The cookbook began when Hesser—author of the acclaimed Cooking with Mr. Latte and former food editor for the Times—placed an ad in the Times simply asking readers for their favorite recipes the paper has ever published. The rush of letters, emails, and yellowed, newsprint recipes propelled Hesser into the kitchen, where she meticulously tested every dish with the modern, time-pressed home cook in mind. Intrigued by the paper’s 150-year food history and inspired by the passionate response from readers, Hesser dug further into the paper’s archives, uncovering pleasant surprises, modern classics, and truly standout dishes from the world’s best chefs.
Organized into 18 chapters including drinks, hors d’oeuvres, soups, eggs, vegetables, grains, seafood, poultry, beef, breads, and desserts, and sprinkled with menu suggestions and fascinating compiled timelines, The Essential New York Times Cookbook is for loyal fans of the Times dining section, first-time home cooks looking for a single volume of reliable recipes, and food lovers eager to uncover the surprises of America’s culinary past—a must-have addition to every cookbook.
