Reviews From: Bon Apetit
Appellation San Francisco Chronicle food editor Michael Bauer and
Chronicle copy editor Fran Irwin combed through ten years of the
newspaper's weekly food section and compiled 350 of its finest
recipes for The San Francisco Chronicle Cookbook. The recipes
represent the diversity and innovation of Northern California
cooking by such Bay Area culinary heavyweights as Paul Bertolli of
Oliveto and Nancy Oakes of Boulevard.
Choosing the best recipes ever published in the San Francisco
Chronicle's weekly food section must be like selecting jewelry at
Tiffany's: It's difficult to make many mistakes. For this cookbook,
the editors draw on some of San Francisco's reigning restaurant
chefs and numerous proficient, local food writers. Experts on the
cuisines of Europe, the Middle East, Asia, and the Americas
contribued recipes that attest to a multicultural San Francisco,
where walking a few city blocks can mean traveling thousands of
culinary miles. I tested more than a quarter of the 350 dishes
printed and found almost all of those worth making again and again.
Many are quick and simple, but most require at least an hour in the
kitchen and some cooking know-how. I only wish this cookbook had
photographs, because choosing the best recipes without visual clues
is like shoping at Tiffany's in the dark.
These 325 recipes reflect the finest cooking in Northern
California, collected by the San Francisco Chronicle's food
section, the most innovative in America. Praise from Marion
Cunningham Choosing the best recipes ever published in the San
Francisco Chronicle's weekly food section must be like selecting
jewelry at Tiffany's: It's difficult to make many mistakes.
