Love this book!
I first bought a copy of this cookbook for my mom, then one for myself, and now one for a friend. It's a great intro to "american" cooking and entertaining. My best find in Silver Palate Cookbook 25th Anniversary Edition: the curried butternut squash soup (which I'd never had before), and I love the sesame ham-and-cheese bites! Only drawback in Silver Palate Cookbook 25th Anniversary Edition: the amounts are meant for entertaining (10 lbs of meat for chili!) and need to be significantly scaled back when cooking for two...
This cookbook will endure for the ages
When I first began to learn how to cook I was overwhelmed with the array of cookbooks on the market. I purchased several compilations and found many of the recipes to have uneven results. You could spend an hour on a recipe only to have it turn out to be the blandest meal ever produced. In came The Silver Palate Cookbook by Julee Rosso and Sheila Lukins. This cookbook was notable for breaking away from traditional American fare, creating celebrated innovative American recipes and incorporating fresh ingredients. It now seems like a staid proposition, but twenty-five years ago, using fresh ingredients was a novel idea.
While some cookbooks are formidable in size, The Silver Palate perfectly hits its stride with just enough recipes, ... Read More
This book should be in every kitchen
I am on my third copy of the Silver Palate Cookbook as the first two were over-used till they split. Twenty five years later and everyone still likes spinach in phyllo and brie in puff pastry! Forget about Jerry Seinfeld's wife(hiding veggies in brownies)....the vegetable recipes in Silver Palate Cookbook 25th Anniversary Edition will appeal to your kids because they taste amazing. I have yet to find anyone who doesn't like the Chicken Marbella (children LOVE it....all that brown sugar). The venison stew is very good and a tasty way to cook something that can otherwise go wrong very quickly. The profiteroles are a fool-proof dessert and the Chocolate Truffles are easy for kids to make along with you...and especially nice at the holidays.
the only cookbook you'll ever need
If you can't find it in this cookbook or on [...], you don't need to make it. All of my favorite recipes--the ones friends and family beg for--are in Silver Palate Cookbook 25th Anniversary Edition. Its style is fresh ingredients with sensible, practical instructions: preparations simple enough that you can have a glass of wine and talk to your guests in the last forty minutes as you serve your hellacious dinner. You'll seem like a mircle-worker.
This is actually my second copy of the book--I used the other one (paperback) until it fell apart.
What???
Recipes I have been borrowing "forever" in Silver Palate Cookbook 25th Anniversary Edition...time to have my own!
