The Plaza Cookbook (Eve Brown)

Since The Plaza opened in 1907, it “has represented style – not the kind you can get from well-appointed decorations or setting alone – but a constant attention to perfection – the multitude of little unhurried things that lift life above the ordinary.” Pardon me while I adopt that as my motto……or feel free to do so yourself. With the very sophisticated recipes on offer, I was particularly taken by the chapter on pasta, risotto and pilaff. Those don’t seem like Plaza food; but I was pleased by the straight-forward recipe for pesto. Who knew! This is a 1972 first edition in good condition with dust jacket. (Previously Owned)
