Customer Reviews
Essential resource for entertaining!
This is a great accompaniment to the original Silver Palette Cookbook. The emphasis here is on entertaining, so the recipes are frequently more formal and serve larger quantities. The book is arranged seasonally with proposed menus (i.e. a Kentucky Derby party, mid-winter skiing holiday). You'll get great ideas for parties just looking through the book. Plus, there are lots of great tips on planning a party and cooking for a crowd. I particularly recommend the Broccoli-Watercress Soup - I return to it again and again as the definitive cream of broccoli soup. If you're not able to brine your Thanksgiving turkey (which is my personal favorite but very time consuming), the recipe and cooking method in this book is the next best thing. Also, their turkey saves better than any other I've tried. Martha Stewart has better pictures of entertaining in her cookbooks, but this book has the best recipes for entertaining and is the most practical for your typical cook.
Fancier and more festive than the original.
This book contains some of the most creative and tasty food I've ever found in a cookbook. I like it even better than The Silver Palate Cookbook, mostly because I cook for special occasions but also because I've had better luck with the recipes. The book is arranged seasonally, with suggested menus for specific celebrations. This, along with the homey illustrations make it a staple in my kitchen. Oh, and try the Garlic and Arrugula soup, it is TO DIE!
outstanding recipes make any meal a special occasion!
Alright, these recipes are not nutritionally-correct. Many are high on fats and sugars. But when you want a special dish to really "wow" your guests, or to celebrate a special occasion, this is the book you'll turn to! Not only are the recipes great, but the sidebars have lots of useful tips for serving and entertaining. This is one of the two or three most used cookbooks in my collection!
