The Zuni Cafe Cookbook: A Compendium of Recipes and Cooking Lessons from San Francisco's Beloved Restaurant Cover

Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

For twenty-four years, in an odd and intimate warren of rooms, San Franciscans of every variety have come to the Zuni Café with high expectations and have rarely left disappointed. 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." 24 pages of color, 50 black-and-white photographs.

Review:

"I am always inspired eating at Zuni Café. Judy Rodgers cooks with an artist's palette; a very special taste that transforms impeccably pure and beautiful ingredients into her own wonderful combinations of flavor and texture. Although her recipes are straightforward and traditional, each one is unique." Alice Waters, author of Chez Panisse Fruit

Review:

"Rodgers, chef-owner of the Zuni Café, cooks like a dream and writes like one, too....Unlike many chefs who style themselves as creative forces, Rodgers has a deep sense of how, as she puts it, 'the simplest dish can recall a community of ideas and people.' Rodgers's cookbook embodies that ideal beautifully." Publishers Weekly
