Publishers Text

Jeremiah Tower: Flavors of Taste captures the genius of one of America's great chefs, and the food that changed American cooking. The book is about ingredients - about how to treat them, Jeremiah Tower's favorite ways that they've been used in the last hundred years, and how they've shown up in legendary menus. It includes favorite recipes and memories, both old and new. And there's every meaning of the word 'taste' involved in the book. 75 recipes with 75 stunning photographs illustrate the 300-page book. Widely recognized as the godfather of modern American cooking and a mentor to rising chefs, Jeremiah Tower is one of the most influential cooks of the last thirty years. He celebrates those moments in the last one hundred years of meals with culinary stars James Beard, Richard Olney, Elizabeth David, and Julia Child, as well as Sophia Loren, Pavarotti, Merle Oberon and the Bloomingdales, Cecil Beaton and Escoffier and legendary events. Tower's work provides a colorful trajectory of American cuisine. His original California culinary revolution kicked off a groundbreaking movement. As California cuisine evolved his emphasis on fresh, local products began defining and elevating America's melting pot of regional cuisines. The impact continues today in restaurants from farm to table, restaurant menu language and style, and the emergence of locavore farmer's markets. Wine Spectator, describing Tower's stint as the co-owner and first chef of Berkeley's nascent Chez Panisse, called him "the father of American Cuisine."
