Amanda Hesser sifted through a hundred and fifty years' worth of accumulated recipes from the New York Times archive and picked out what still works, which is an editorial undertaking that makes our stocktaking here look positively quaint. The book contains 1032 pages of recipes, dated and annotated, so you can see what was of-its-time and what was timeless. This anniversary edition includes further selections. An American counterpart to our own household classics, only considerably better edited. A valuable and comprehensive recipe collection spanning the entire modern era, quite simply, and an absolutely excellent reference work for a cookbook shelf.
