Synopsis
In May 1774, soon after City Tavern opened for business, Paul Revere arrived at its doors to announce Parliament's closing the port of Boston. In 1777, the Tavern hosted America's first official Fourth of July celebration. And in 1789, this landmark inn held a banquet for George Washington as he passed through Philadelphia en route to New York for his presidential inauguration.Through the Revolutionary period and the early republic, City Tavern was the center of American political and social life. More than a meeting place for prominent Americans, the Tavern also acquired a reputation as the best restaurant in North America, the setting for suppers, "as elegant as was ever laid on a table," according to John Adams. Since Philadelphia's seaport was the lively center of eighteenth-century commerce, it's no surprise that it was here that the finest imported foodstuffs, Madeiras, clarets, and exotic fruits and spices met the bounty of the New World, giving the City Tavern chef an unlimited supply of ingredients.More than two hundred years later, the Tavern is still garnering high praise for its gourmet cuisine and elegant atmosphere. The fusion of classic European cookery, American game and produce, and exotic island spices enjoyed by early visitors to the Tavern is recreated every day by chef/proprietor Walter Staib. City Tavern Cookbook reveals the richness and diversity of the eighteenth-century table. Within these pages are 200 authentic recipes that capture the best of early American gourmet cuisine. These dishes, updated for modern tastes, include world-famous West Indies Pepper Pot Soup, Roasted Duckling with Peach Chutney, Lobster Potpie, Thomas Jefferson's Sweet Potato Biscuits, plus Martha Washington's Chocolate Mousse Cake. With fascinating historic tidbits and trivia that bring eighteenth-century American gastronomy to life, City Tavern Cookbook offers the reader a delicious lesson in culinary history., Through the Revolutionary period and the early republic, City Tavern was the center of American political and social life. More than a meeting place for prominent Americans, the Tavern also acquired a reputation as the best restaurant in North America, the setting for suppers, "as elegant as was ever laid on a table," according to John Adams.

    History that tastes great!

    As a viewer who has watched the chef/author for some time, I ordered a copy to give to my sister for Christmas... even though it was in the "used" section, the book was fine. However, I decided that I would like my own copy, and when that one arrived it was almost pristine... thinking of swapping it out with her so she can have a perfect dust jacket. However, those are just the cosmetics..as the recipes inside are really well written, historic and completely original. A marvelous book, for recipes or for reference, or just for the coffee table! If you have any interest in history, or simply like great food, prepared simply, get a copy!

    Nice selection of recipes!

    Arrived in great condition, and in a timely fashion. I am pleased with the different recipes selections. It was to be a Christmas gift for my Son. We love looking at recipes together and he had taken my place as a great cook in the family. I bought 3 others cookbooks to join this 1. Sadly my Son has died!

    Great book to read even if you don't cook!

    Both a cookbook and history book. Every recipe I've tried so far is delicious! Enjoy reading the little history note with each one.
