The Silver Palate Cookbook

I've had my first edition silver palette cookbook for three decades, and I ordered this copy for my nephew. Every recipe in here is a no – fail winner, with clear directions for flawless preparation. Even the cookie and cake recipes are delicious, The sorrel soup and pasta puttanesca recipes are the best I have ever eaten. It should be on the bookshelf of every serious cook.

Best cookbook ever. If you only use online recipes, you are missing out.

This book is a must have if you are a so so home cook, newly married couple or just trying to capture restaurant quality food at home AND better. Every step guide to great food cooked correctly. Sauces, soups, salads no fail entrees and wonderful desserts. Step by step to guide to get you through to the most beautiful meals. Roast chicken, homemade salad dressing, Mediterranean chicken salad to die for as is Pasta Primavera Gregory. So many to name! Love Italian it is here. Full menus for entertaining. Charcuterie to dessert! I forgot just how wonderful this book is. You want to prepare the best filet of beef tenderloin without it failing it's here. This is your book ! A perfect shower or wedding gift. A young individual just wanting to learn how to cook food correctly (your book)! I purchased two copies recently for a couple individuals that love fabulous food and are now going to have a full no fail guide. It is so nice when you cook a lot and find resources that fire up that passion for food. We are now empty nesters, my husband is getting ready to re live some of our old favorites without the peanut gallery moaning. You cook one way with kids and daily. It will be date night many nights of the week with a new fire lit again by this book. It was like seeing an old friend and catching up as if no time at all had passed yet it was a lifetime.

If you’re a beginner and could choose only one cookbook, this is the one to get! Multiple generations in my family have used it, and it continues to be updated over time. The recipes are excellent, and the book itself is high quality—it doesn’t feel cheap or flimsy. Considering how big and extensive it is, the price is very reasonable. Highly recommend!

I heard about this book on Rachel Belle's podcast - Your Last Meal, and had to get it for the Chicken Marbella recipe. The cookbook is beautiful and I can't wait to start cooking. However, the content of the book is spread out, all through the book. Soups, salads, veggie-sides and more are interspersed with meats, seafood and poultry dishes; it's very strange. This makes it hard to zero in on a specific food category, that you may want to make. It's not the most user-friendly cookbook. Also, as some others have mentioned, some of the portions are huge. 4 whole chickens for the Chicken Marbella. (This would make Jake Blues proud.) A version online portions it down to a more realistic recipe, 1 bird. And, for some recipes, the ingredients, I don't even recognize. Fortunately, I'm a seasoned (pun intended) cook and know how to improvise. I do recommend this cookbook, but just know what you're getting into. :)

A book that my husband and I love!!! Great recipes!

My favorite cookbook

Arrived in 5 days counting Thanksgiving holiday. Clearly a used book and no jacket. But the price was right and it is a hardback copy.

以前アメリカの友大地の勧めで一冊買って使っていましたが、引越しの時に紛失してしまってどうしようと思っていたところ買うことができました。きれいな状態で到着しました。活用します！

This is a revised version of a much loved book. If you do not have this in your collection order now. This is an American classic and a complete game changer. Easy to follow recipes that turn out perfect every time . The new photo illustrations are a great addition - but the hand-drawn illustrations are charming. Recommended - if you love American cookery you need to own this.

brilliant

Reminds me of the kitchen at home. My mother used this book all the time and I just had to have it for my bookshelf. Simple, cler receipes. Easy for week night dinners.

Super tolle amerikanische Rezepte, so, wie man sie aus den USA kennt. Bei einigen Rezepten braucht man Ersatzprodukte, da diese so in Deutschland nicht erhältlich sind!
