This marriage of seasoned European sensibility and California café culture is the best of both worlds, and it's the reason why you should rush out and buy this book., Better than the cuisine, though, is the writing--and how many restaurant cookbooks can you say that about? Even the recipes are a joy to read., This marriage of seasoned European sensibility and California caf culture is the best of both worlds, and it's the reason why you should rush out and buy this book., Perhaps more valuable than anything else in Judy Rodgers' impressive The Zuni Caf Cookbook is the wisdom of her detailed writings, present in recipes from a simple crostini to an elaborate multi-step braise.

Synopsis
In The Zuni Café Cookbook , a book customers have been anticipating for years, chef and owner Judy Rodgers provides recipes for Zuni's most well-known dishes, ranging from the Zuni Roast Chicken to the Espresso Granita. But Zuni's appeal goes beyond recipes. Harold McGee concludes, "What makes The Zuni Café Cookbook a real treasure is the voice of Zuni's Judy Rodgers," whose book "repeatedly sheds a fresh and revealing light on ingredients and dishes, and even on the nature of cooking itself." Deborah Madison ( Vegetarian Cooking for Everyone ) says the introduction alone "should be required reading for every person who might cook something someday.", In The Zuni Cafe Cookbook, a book customers have been anticipating for years, chef and owner Judy Rodgers provides recipes for Zuni's most well-known dishes, ranging from the Zuni Roast Chicken to the Espresso Granita.

    The seller was very responsive and answered me on a timely matter. The product itself came in its packaging and was new, not used at all. The packaging was not beat up or anything, safely delivered to my mailbox. No mix ups and zero stress with delivery. The price for the product is completely understandable for the product. I really appreciate the seller and I am very happy to have purchased through this seller. Completely trustable!

    Leaving positive feedback because 1) item was packed well & arrived as described 2) seller did give partial refund when subsequent price dropped below org purchase price. 3) communication was quick However, there was a downside to this transaction -item listed as in-stock but ended up waiting nearly a month for them to get it from their distributer then ship it to me (bought June 29th, arrived around July 21). Auction said 12-15 days. Better clarity would have prevented lot of frustration

    My statue was exactly as described, it was un-opened and in perfect condition! Totally wirth the price. Getting it shipped took a little long but the seller was very responsive when I messaged and sent me the tracking as soon as it was available. Plus they did a good job packaging it well enough that despite being banged up on the outside my item was completely undamaged.

    An inimitable american chef in too short a volume

    I worked with Judy at her flagship Union Hotel in the early80's and a cou[ple of brief stints at Zuni. She was lightning and encyclopedic in her knowledge of food and degustation, a nimble teacher, and a thorough critic and intellect. This volume is a fraction of what she held, but it is attended to as her offspring and conveys her exuberence and "paroxysms of glee" that graced her love of the art and her carrying the tradition of "serving it forth." I've happily given some 20 copies as gifts to newlyweds and students.

  • Not for the beginner cook

    While a newbie cook/chef could learn from this work of culinary art, it's really aimed at those who have reached a certain level of proficiency in the kitchen and wish to learn more to help propel their creations to the next level. The writer, who died some time ago, poured herself into the descriptions so that you would not make the same 'errors" she made initially. Nothing fails, but some of the dishes need her special touch so that they really sing and you get the very most from the time and ingredients you've invested. You'll take a lot away from this if you learn anything. It's also a pleasure to read as Judy talks to you through her sentences. It's as if she's there with you. For the cook who thinks she or he has all the reference books they need.

  • Zuni Cafe Cookbook

    There was NO cover on the book which was disappointing. The picture posted has a cover and it was not share that it was missing the cover. I’m not reviewing the book, but rather the product and description.
