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:  - 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 this book: the curried butternut squash soup (which I'd never had before), and I love the sesame ham-and-cheese bites! Only drawback in this book: the amounts are meant for entertaining (10 lbs of meat for chili!) and need to be significantly scaled back when cooking for two...
Rating:  - 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 ... Read More
Rating: - 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 this book 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 ... Read More
Rating: - 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 this book. 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 ... Read More
