  There is a subsequent edition of this book (from the 90s, as I recall) that's also indexed on EYB. Although it has the identical title it is extensively revised and some 40% of the recipes in this edition apparently were pitched and replaced in the newer edition. So you may want to have BOTH books if you're a Craig Claiborne fan!

Notes about Recipes in this book

• Quiche Lorraine

  • dkazmercyk on March 20, 2017

    This is my go-to recipe for any kind of quiche. It always comes out wonderful no matter how I switch around the filling variations from broccoli to asparagus. I've varied the cheeses also with great results.

• Mushroom turnovers

  • holleya on April 22, 2012

    Add 1/2 tsp salt to dough. Reduce salt in filling to 1/2 tsp.

    Sadly, I could eat these by the dozen. The cream cheese pastry is light, so flaky! The gentle thyme fragrance. I like them small, but I still bite them in half, I never "pop" them.

• Herbed pork chops

  • chawkins on August 28, 2013

    Great weeknight entree. Total cooking time was about an hour but hands-on time was less than 10 minutes. You rubbed the herbs on the chops, simmered them for 45 minutes until all the liquid evaporated, browned the chops a bit, add the wine, reduced and they were done. The chops had great flavor and were fork tender.

• Catalan bouillabaisse

  • mcvl on September 16, 2014

    I've been making this recipe every few years since 1962, and it remains a reliable dish to serve to perfect strangers, people about whose likes and dislikes you know nothing. And I like it. I didn't have any Chablis on hand this time, and I missed it.

• Shrimp Tolliver

  • mcvl on February 26, 2015

    What a delightful old-fashioned recipe! Craig is so reliable, even at this distance of years.

• Oeufs au beurre noir

  • blozoff on December 25, 2015

    delicious and super easy

• Spinach salad

  • GiselleMarie on May 31, 2017

    This is a good basic recipe that I chose over other recipes for spinach salad because I was in a hurry to put dinner on the table. It's easier than some recipes because it does not call for bacon. I sprinkled the spinach with 1/2 teaspoon salt and I added 5-6 white mushrooms, thinly sliced.

• Baking powder biscuits

  • Bloominanglophile on September 14, 2013

    My notes say, "Good rising". I don't use shortening anymore, so obviously replaced the same amount with butter.

• Onion squares

  • Bloominanglophile on September 15, 2013

    As I was entering my comments for the Baking Powder Biscuits from this book, my eyes fell on the recipe for Onion Squares. It sounded so delicious that I immediately went to the kitchen to make it. This is a nice quick bread recipe that would compliment soups, salads, or a German meal (I would substitute the parsley with the caraway seeds). The base is basically a biscuit dough, which is topped with sautéed onions, then sour cream or cheese. I used light sour cream--am wondering if full fat sour cream might melt a little better?!? Anyway, this bakes up nice and light and is luscious with the onions. I have entered it into my favorites file!

• Banana tea bread

  • Bloominanglophile on September 14, 2013

    This banana bread is just fine, but James Beard's recipe has become our house favorite.

  • Frogcake on March 16, 2017

    Compared to other banana bread recipes I've tried (e.g., Flour), this one is really boring. I used two large bananas and added about a quarter cup of chopped pecans. The banana taste is not very bright and the bread was quite dry. I will stick to my other banana bread recipes and won't be making this one again.

• Old-fashioned rice pudding
