About Saveur: The New Classics Cookbook:
In celebration of the 20th anniversary of the magazine that sets the standard for excellence in food writing and recipes, comes Saveur: The New Classics Cookbook, featuring more than 1000 unique recipes in an indispensable collection for home cooks everywhere.
Saveur has long been known for discovering, highlighting, and creating iconic recipes cake to an utterly perfect take on the Caesar salad. Now, with Saveur: The New Classics Cookbook, Betsy Andrews and her team of editors are the first to approach the Asia, the Middle East, Africa, South America, and everywhere in between. The section on dips alone features recipes that range in origin from Macedonia to Oaxaca, Thailand, and Lebanon. With an emphasis on home cooking, tradition and heritage, this quintessential collection showcases good food alongside the stories behind these iconic dishes.
Offering authentically sourced recipes for just about every type of dish, essential techniques, and helpful advice, this masterfully curated collection represents a comprehensive foundation and go-to guide for daily inspiration from a trusted source. Here home cooks will also find suggested menus for holidays and occasions; illustrated sidebars that showcase groups of ingredients (such as the Mexican pantry, a bacon matrix, different varieties of tomatoes, etc) or provide easy-to-follow instructions for techniques (like how to crimp a dumpling or fold an empanada); and 48 pages of richly pages of richly detailed full-color photographs.
The broad selection of recipes in Saveur: The New Classics Cookbook covers each course of the meal from drinks and appetizers to main entrees, side dishes, and desserts as well as significant categories (such as sandwiches, savory pies, soups and stews, etc). Featured throughout the pages are coo, ingredient glossaries, suggested menus, and more.
A compilation of over one thousand of the most iconic, most classic of recipes under one cover, Saveur: The New Classics Cookbook is an indispensable guide to the world’s most wonderful recipes.
