Our Favorite Cookbooks
Please understand up front what a daunting task we have before us!
Our cookbook collection numbers well over 1,000. How in the world do we
narrow it down to our all-time favorites? The ones we absolutely could not
live without?
Having said that, I must add that I refuse to complicate this exercise by
insisting on a particular order. Even a simple alphabetical listing seems
too
stressful at this point. And we cannot imagine having to list them in
order of preference! We can always organize later!
So. We will simply begin by beginning with the first must-have cookbook
that comes to mind...

Numero Uno!
The Essential New York Times Cookbook: Classic Recipes for a New Century
When Amanda Hesser chose the title for this
indispensable
tome, she was serious! What is it not?
It is NOT a revised version of any New York Times
cookbook ever published. What is it then?
It IS "a compendium of the ost well-known and
influential recipes printed in the New York Times."
It is a culinary time machine.
Love New Orleans?

We checked with
Chef Keegan to find out which cookbooks
he
considers essential to those of you who value excellence in food.
Since his primary area of expertise is pastry, that is where the
emphasis lies.
More to come as soon as I can catch him with a
few minutes to spare! Here is the result:
Desserts (Nancy Silverton)
