Description: New American Classics is the long-awaited first collection of Jeremiah Tower's best recipes, a cookbook that proves that extraordinary dishes can be re-created in any kitchen. Simplicity is the keynote here, in both technique and ingredients: an ethereally thin fish paillard, requiring only the heat of its serving plate to cook it, is topped with a sauce of ginger, garlic, and tomatoes for an understatedly perfect meal; a quickly prepared black bean cake served with sour cream and salsa makes a unique and memorable accompaniment.
New American Classics is a celebration of everyday foods at their best, whether definitive versions of a chicken club sandwich or steak tartare; pasta with unexpected partners like baked eggplant with rabbit and chanterelles; meat brought to its best in braises or grills; salads as beautiful as they are delicious; or splendid, satisfying desserts, like shortbread with apples and a Russian gratin of raspberries.
With nearly 250 recipes and 125 full-color photographs, Jeremiah Towers New American Classics is a great cook's vision of the way people want to cook today.
