The Silver Palate Cookbook was published 25 years ago.
It "changed the cookbook world forever," said cookbook author Ina Garten, best known as the Barefoot Contessa.
New York restaurateur Danny Meyer said it "remains the classic standard by which any American cookbook must be measured."
Sheila Lukins and Julee Rosso's book also changed the way many home cooks approached dinner. More than 2.3 million copies of this paperback cookbook are in print - and I'm guessing many, like mine, are tattered and stained. I still make "our favorite viniagrette" and my sister just made raspberry chicken for a recent family birthday party. The recipes hold up surprising well.
A 25th anniversary edition of the cookbook is being released this month (Workman, $19.95) that now includes more than 100 color photographs. (Wow, chicken marbella - in color!) I'm planning a story about the Silver Palate Cookbook and want to talk to readers about their own experiences with the cookbook. If you're interested, email me at ptalorico@delawareonline.com. tell me your favorite Silver Palate recipes and please include your name and daytime phone number.
