Book Description
Excerpt from The Cook Book by "Oscar" Of the Waldorf In placing this work before my friends at The Waldorf and the public in general, it is with the feeling that I am giving them a book illustrative of the best methods of preparing food at the present day. The collection of recipes embodies many which have been rendered easy of comprehension and arranged in such a manner as to meet the wants of all -the caterer to large dinners or receptions, as well as the more modest entertainment furnished at the hearthside. There has been more particular attention devoted to the requirements of the latter than to those of the former, as, in the writer's opinion, the giver of a small reception has been, it might be said, rather neglected in such works as have come before the notice of the undersigned, relative to cookery. The 'title selected for the book is: the cook book BY oscar OF the waldorf, and it is with great honor dedicated to the patrons of The Waldorf, with the hope that they will receive it as a token of my high esteem and sincere appreciation of their kindness as shown to me at all times.

New York City
Author: Andrew F. Smith
Publisher: Rowman & Littlefield
ISBN: 1442227133
Category : Cooking
Languages : en
Pages : 211
Book Description
New York City’s first food biography showcases all the vibrancy, innovation, diversity, influence, and taste of this most-celebrated American metropolis. Its cuisine has developed as a lively potluck supper, where discrete culinary traditions have survived, thrived, and interacted. For almost 400 years New York’s culinary influence has been felt in other cities and communities worldwide. New York’s restaurants, such as Delmonico’s, created and sustained haute cuisine in this country. Grocery stores and supermarkets that were launched here became models for national food distribution. More cookbooks have been published in New York than in all other American cities combined. Foreign and “fancy” foods, including hamburgers, pizza, hot dogs, Waldorf salad, and baked Alaska, were introduced to Americans through New York’s colorful street vendors, cooks, and restaurateurs. As Smith shows here, the city’s ever-changing culinary life continues to fascinate and satiate both natives and visitors alike.
