About This Book

An experienced New York chef provides practical, seasonally organized guidance for buying, preparing, and presenting food. Chapters explain markets and monthly fish varieties, vegetables and melons, and give detailed instructions for table arrangement, glassware placement, napkin presentation, and serving order and etiquette. Menus cover every day of the year and include celebrated and international examples; hundreds of recipes and supplements span soups, entrées, roasts, carving technique, and service notes. Advice on wine temperatures, course sequencing, and kitchen-to-table timing emphasizes heat and timing. The work blends cookbook recipes with household directions for hosting formal dinners in a nineteenth-century American context.
