Editorial Reviews

"The recipes include both classics that still work and items that would be unsurprising on a fine dining restaurant menu in a major city. The consideration of international recipes and chef profiles also adds to the currency of the book- we live in a global culinary world."Jonathan Deutsch, Kingsborough Community College, CUNY
