Description:

When Jeremiah Tower started cooking in California in the 1970s, fine food in America was typically a pale imitation of French haute cuisine. Taking the reins a at small Berkeley restaurant named Chez Panisse, Tower looked around at the extraordinary fresh ingredients available from local producers, began experimenting with cooking that emphasized pure flavors and inventive combinations...and changed the face of American cooking.

Tower is widely recognized as one of the country's greatest cooks. In this extraordinary and yet approachable cookbook, he presents 250 new recipes representing the last 15 years of his thinking and his cooking. Dishes range from American regional specialties, such as Soft Shell crab Po' Boy Sandwich and Cowboy-style Fire-roasted Onions, to continental classics made with Jeremiah's spin, such as Braised Rabbit with Prunes, Catalan style; or Fresh Morel Mushroom Stew with Fava Beans and Peas.

More than a cookbook, however, this book reveals the author's gift as a writer and storyteller. Indeed, this absorbing volume is almost as rewarding to read as to cook from. The result is a publication of exceptional delights from a marvelous writer and a brilliant cook.
