The 125 Best Recipes Ever

To overcome the clutter of too many indispensable cookbooks in his kitchen, Loyd Grossman selects his favourite recipes - those which he turns to time and again - and presents them in this wonderful collection. From the rightfully famed to the wrongfully forgotten, the classic, definitive recipes of world cooking are all here. Julia Child, Elizabeth David, Michel Roux, Jane Grigson, Joel Robuchon and Rick Stein are just a handful of those who are part of a lasting legacy to modern-day cooking, and whose recipes justly warrant inclusion in this selection - from Caesar Salad to Summer Pudding, Pitachio Crhme Brulee, Italian Carrot and Almond Cake, to Honey Roasted Pork and Salmon Marinated in Dill. These recipes, both ancient and modern, New World and Old, are classics in their own right. In his own inimitable style, Loyd Grossman tells us about the creators of these unforgettable dishes and admires their contribution to the world of cooking.
