Overview

Ten years after the phenomenal success of her once-in-ageneration cookbook, former New York Times food editor Amanda Hesser returns with an updated edition for a new wave of home cooks. Devoted Times subscribers as well as newcomers to the paper's culinary mother lode will find dozens of recipes to treasure: Purple Plum Torte, David Eyre's Pancake, Pamela Sherrid's Summer Pasta, and a host of other classics, from 1940s Caesar Salad and 1960s flourless chocolate cake (Evelyn Sharpe's French Chocolate Cake) to today's No-Knead Bread and Giant Crinkled Chocolate Chip Cookies. Also included are fifty?new but instantly iconic recipes, including Samin Nosrat's Herbed Rice with Tahdig, Melissa Clark's Simple Roast Turkey, and Alison Roman's one-pot Spiced Chickpea Stew. Hesser has tested and adapted each of the 1,000-plus recipes, and she highlights her go-to favorites from more than a century's-worth of cooking tradition with wit and warmth. As Saveur declared, this is a ?tremendously appealing collection of recipes that tells the story of American cooking.?

For those of us who love Amanda Hesser's Essential New York Times Cookbook, her updated version, adding seventy of the most popular recipes from the last decade, is a gift from heaven. These are recipes I'll use over and over again-and I'm starting with Rao's meatballs! -- Ina Garten This is a vast collection of carefully curated, tested, and updated recipes. In a world constantly searching for the trendy, I find comfort in a book celebrating the delicious. Salty, buttery bagna cauda, garlicky gazpacho, or an eggplant parmesan are essentially delicious in my mind, but others will have theirs, and most likely find the best version of it in here. -- Yotam Ottolenghi Smart, bright, and supremely practical, Amanda Hesser's Anniversary Edition of The Essential New York Times Cookbook is a cause for celebration-this book can teach you how to cook. Amanda's instructions are clear, her how-tos precise, her advice solid, and her range extraordinary-she covers everything from cocktails to cookies. The historical notes, fascinating timelines, culinary history, and personal asides are the proverbial cherry on top. -- Dorie Greenspan
