Notes about Recipes in this book

  • Chocolate butter cookies

    • JKDLady on July 15, 2015

      We did not like these at all. They were too floury. I needed to cook these longer. I would not make these again.

  • Carrot salad

    • JKDLady on July 18, 2015

      This was a very good side dish to baked chicken wings with an Asian sauce. Definitely worth repeating.

  • Barbecued baby backs with Sheila's raucous BBQ sauce

    • JKDLady on July 15, 2015

      Too sweet for our taste.

  • Pot-roasted chicken santiago

    • JKDLady on July 15, 2015

      Cover the chicken with sauce before putting it in the oven.

  • Pineapple ginger rice

    • hillsboroks on June 23, 2021

      This recipe amps your rice up with layers of flavor and is delicious as a side dish with salmon or fish and chicken. Be careful what kind of rice you use though. The first time I made it I used basmati rice and it was just a bit clumpy when it was finished cooking. The second time I used jasmine rice and ended up with a delicious rice porridge that everyone loved. Next time I am going to try some old-fashioned long grain white rice that should stand up better to the cooking technique and cooking time.

  • Shrimp toasts

    • amoule on December 25, 2015

      Very good. Needs more salt, or perhaps some soy sauce. I'll bet these would be good fried in salted butter.

  • Jason Epstein's clam dip deluxe

    • amoule on July 14, 2016

      Everyone who commented on this last night liked it much better than I did. I thought that adding clam juice to mascarpone didn't quite work -- it seemed like it was on the verge of separating. Also, the flavor was quite bland. I ended up adding more clams and some Old Bay Seasoning to correct the flavors. I would not repeat this recipe.

  • Aunt Sabella's black chocolate cake with fudge icing

    • Kinhawaii on July 11, 2020

      I love to make this when I want a little chocolate cake with frosting. Frosting is good on cupcakes too. Yummy!

Then she obsessively offers the ten very best recipes for each, and voilà: 10, the dazzling be-all and end-all cookbook from one of America's most beloved food writers, coauthor of The Silver Palate Cookbook and The New Basics Cookbook and author, most recently, of Celebrate!

10 is perfection, the peak, a repertoire of pure crave. 10 is the ten best roast chicken recipes, including Asian-Scented orange Chicken and Pot-Roasted Chicken Santiago. The ten best burgers, with a classic Bacon Swiss Burger with Tomato and Avocado and Jeremiah Tower's extravagant Black Truffled Burger. Ten best mashed potatoes - you haven't lived until you try Sheila's silky, sexy Lobster Mashed Potatoes. The ten best Sunday dinners, ten best seafood salads, ten best cakes. with over 300 recipes, including dishes from top chefs, such as Tom Colicchio's Roasted Rack of Pork, Judy Rodgers's Zuni Café Roast Chicken with Bread Salad, Anthony Bourdain's Choucroute Garni, Tom Valenti's Red wine and Tomato Braised Duck, and others, 10 is truly a celebration of the best of the best.
