The Essential New York Times Cookbook by Amanda Hesser is a collection of recipes that have earned their place over time. Drawn from the archives of The New York Times, these are the dishes people have returned to for decades - clipped, saved, passed down, and made their own.
Inside, you’ll find the kind of recipes that define a kitchen:
- Craig Claiborne’s Classic Roast Chicken
- Marian Burros’s Plum Torte
- Pierre Franey’s 60-Minute Gourmet dishes
- The famed No-Knead Bread
- Rich brownies
- Simple vinaigrettes
The standards that don’t need reinventing. It’s substantial in the best way - something to leave out on the counter, pages softened over time, corners turned down where it matters most.
