(More customer reviews)My "Kitchen Classics from the Philharmonic" sold out early in the first year it was published. It includes 150 terrific recipes from people affiliated with the NY Philharmonic in its first 150 years (from Toscanini to Pavarotti), short, pithy text about how these great performers ate before, during (yes, during) and after a concert, their favorite restaurants and, just for fun, music to listen to (complete with record or CD number) while preparing or eating the dish. (WARNING: some of these are really bad puns - - a chopped chicken liver recipe is set to music by Frederic CHOPPIN - - played by Emanuel Ax...)And there are 50 great illustrations by Al Hirschfeld!!
This is a fun, interesting read (if I may say so myself) but it's also an excellent cookbook with recipes you'll use for yourself and company. The recipes were given to me by classical music celebs on my daily cooking show on WQXR in New York City. They were each tested and tasted for quality, ease of preparation and proper measurements.
"Kitchen Classics" may be out of print but it's still floating around out there, thanks to Amazon.com. It makes a great coffee table book but it also belongs in the kitchen and, for spicy reading, on your bedside table. Keep it handy.
