Jeremiah Tower Cooks: 250 Recipes from an American Master

This is the most important cookbook I’ve purchased in many years.

It is a beautiful cookbook, recipes look good although I haven't actually tried any of them, yet. I was disappointed that there are no pictures of the food...a cookbook with no food art???

I'm over 13 X 3. an old fogey. Anyway, I was please to find this still in print from a legendary chef. I used to make his lambsteak au poivre years ago. This book is loaded with 5 star recipes and his fare is still fabulous. You would get your moneys worth from the illustrated paintings alone. Enjoy and I reccomend this highly

Nice to know about J. Towers as well as Alice Waters.

could have had more detail

Excellent book filled with wonderful recipes and the fantastic writing of Chef Jeremiah Tower!

I consider myself to be a damned good cook and a recipe follower to the T. The recipes I've tried from this book have turned out undercooked chicken and dried out pork. I have a sneaking suspicion that no home cook ever tested a single recipe in this book. Having to take a picture of the finished product would have solved that. Not worth the paper it's printed on.

A little disappointed in this......you may like some recipes, but most are compicated and call for very esoteric ingredients. Not for family cooking, maybe for a special ocassion when you have unlimited time, but then, there are a lot of better books out there for that.

splendid book
