"With An Everlasting Meal, Tamar Adler advocated for the pleasures of leftovers and the myriad uses of flavorful scraps, providing culinary tips for using food you might ordinarily throw away. Adler continues her preservative quest by rekindling classic recipes from times past, when cooking was careful, important, economical, and inspired. Other than occasional kitschy throwbacks, however, like Deviled Eggs or Oysters Rockefeller, many dishes that first excited our palates have disappeared. Beneath their fussy garnishes, gratuitous sauces, and outmoded techniques, Adler unearthed great recipes worth reviving. She presents over 100 classic recipes she loves best. From Steak Diane to Peach Melba, Adler enlivens these culinary classics with ample use of acid and herbs, simplified techniques, and contemporary ways of serving. Seasonal menus, complete with wine pairings suggested by sommelier Juliette Pope, watercolor drawings by artist Mindy Dubin, and a foreword by food critic Mimi Sheraton.

Sheraton, Mimi.
