    This book is fun to read, but a few of the recipes call for sub-recipes not included in the book, which I find irritating.

Notes about Recipes in this book

  • Goat cheese quesadilla with guacamole and pico di gallo

    • sturlington on May 17, 2013

      P329. Requires pico de Gallo and guacamole.

  • Topolo "Caesar" salad (Ensalada estilo Topolobampo)

    • sturlington on May 17, 2013

      P358. From Rick Bayless's Mexican Kitchen. I liked the salad a lot, but because the recipe makes so much dressing, I have to be prepared to eat it all week or make it for a crowd. The dressing has a lot of zing and doesn't call for anchovies like most caesar dressings, which I don't keep on hand anyway. However, the recipe cannot be reduced, so you're really making enough dressing for 4 salads, each serving 4--so there's a lot leftover. It keeps for a week in the fridge, but even so, I couldn't use it all up.

  • Buttermilk pancakes

    • sturlington on May 17, 2013

      P594. Can make the batter ahead.

  • Applesauce-carrot cake with lemon cream cheese frosting

    • sgump on November 29, 2015

      Made for Dad's 79th birthday--used a sprayed Bundt pan (out of which the cake effortlessly slid). Quite delicious. Used extra raisins, pecans, coconut, pineapple, applesauce, and carrots, so the cake didn't rise above the cake pan and was dense, moist, lovely. Delightful addition of lemon zest to the frosting; didn't use lemon extract, but that might have overdone it. Will likely make again.

Publishers Text

Like a hall of fame for cookbooks, this is a food lover’s dream collection, featuring 501 recipes from favorite authors. Any cook will tell you that in every cookbook there are a handful of recipes that rise to the top—the earmarked and most-stained pages. In this marvelous collection, 501 of these signature recipes have been carefully selected from 101 great cookbooks of the twentieth century—beloved tomes passed down through generations. The list of masterworks was chosen by an expert advisory committee that includes Jonathan Gold, Michael Pollan, and Ruth Reichl. It is like having a library of culinary classics condensed into one volume. You’ll discover so many timeless gems, such as Julia Child’s Boeuf Bourguignon, Elizabeth David’s Bouillabaisse, Marcella Hazan’s Bolognese Ragu, Jacques Pepin’s Brioche, James Beard’s Pig Hamburgers, and Irma Rombauer’s Devil’s Food Cake Cockaigne. But you’ll also read about how these books and recipes revolutionized the way we eat. Interspersed throughout are nostalgic images from the vintage first editions. It is a fascinating culinary tour that in whole tells much of the story of American culture at large.
