Product Description:
With over 2.2 million copies in print, the widely acclaimed The Silver Palate Cookbook is firmly established as a contemporary classic. Originally published in 1982, the book's elegant, innovative recipes and emphasis on pure, fresh, ingredients ushered a new passion for food and hospitality into the American consciousness.

The lively collection of clear, step-by-step recipes ranges from sublimely refined traditions-Pesto, Manhattan Clam Chowder, and Stuffed Artichokes-to original creations certain to become the topic of conversation at any dinner party. There's PatS de Campagne with Walnuts and Juniper Berries. Fruit-Stuffed Cornish Hens. Caviar Eclairs. Blueberry Bisque. Plus over 300 more recipes for hors d'oeuvres, dips and sauces, picnic fare, entrSes, salads, soups, breads, desserts. Throughout the book are valuable menu and serving suggestions, literary quotes, food guides, food lore, and whimsical illustrations. Selection of the Book-of-the-Month Club, Quality Paperback Book Club, Book-of-the-Month Club's HomeStyle Books, Better Homes & Gardens Family Book Service, and the ABA Basic Booklist. A James Beard Book Awards inductee into the cookbook Hall of Fame.

Amazon.com Review:
The Silver Palate, a small but notable New York eatery, won several national awards and distributed their packaged goods to fine food stores across the country. Owners Julee Rosso & Sheila Lukins wrote The Silver Palate Cookbook so that lovers of their chunky apple cake with cider glaze or their fruit-stuffed Cornish hens can re-create these dishes at home. In addition to a lively collection of recipes that are suitable for both entertaining and everyday, there are valuable menu and serving suggestions, literary quotes, food guides, food lore and whimsical illustrations by Ms. Lukins. The book won the 1991 James Beard Cookbook Award.

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Silver Palate Cook Book
This is a wonderful cookbook. I found recipes by the authors in the newspaper many years ago and have hung on to them over the years. It is nice to have a good collection of them in a cookbook now. Great recipes if you want to impress someone with your culinary skills.

The Silver Palate Cookbook
by Julee Rosso and Sheila Lukins
Workman Publishing Company

ISBN : 13 978-0-7611-4598-1

Julee Rosso was a businesswoman, Sheila Lukins a chef trained at Le Cordon Bleu in London. They met at a party. Their lively interaction sparked an impulse. Both had cultivated tastes and European experiences. Both loved entertaining and prized quality cooking. Yet there was never time in a crowded professional life. The two suspected there were others much like them, and many professionals who wanted something different than usual restaurant fare. They were quite right.
Very soon their small shop on Manhattan's west side opened, offering gourmet take-out and small scale catering and calling itself the Silver Palate. Business was brisk and its success was explosive. All of this predated and predicted the wide international offerings in produce, dry goods and spices that we expect in grocery stores today. The shop was sold in 1982. The two were then able to follow through on a long standing ambition: a cookbook dedicated to a format similar to that of their shop.
Twenty five editions later, The Silver Palate cookbook faithfully fills its own special place. Turn to it for specialties. It is comprehensive only on the delicious and unusual; it is not necessarily a manual for the beginers looking for basics. Here find Chicken Marbella or Six Onion Soup or delicious cakes. Mouth-watering photographs are scattered throughout the pages. Browsing through, I found myself believing briefly that I was embracing THE GOOD LIFE - and only by reading!! Well,not quite -. But certainly a real classic, this is a wonderful book to add to a cookbook collection.



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - fantastic book!
a staple in our family. One of the best cookbooks. Every recipe that I have used has received acclaims from family and guests. All cooks should own this book!
