Bromberg Bros Blue Ribbon Cookbook

Seventeen years after starting their Blue Ribbon restaurant in Manhattan, the brothers behind the now nine-restaurant phenomenon share their secrets for exceptional American fare.

A compilation of the best of blue ribbon recipes from county and state fairs across the U.S.

Packed with recipes for down-home dishes, this cookbook contains the best blue ribbon-winning recipes from fairs across the country.

Jennie C. Benedict's The Blue Ribbon Cook Book represents the very best in the tradition of southern regional cooking. Recipes for such classic dishes as Parker House rolls, lamb chops, corn pudding, Waldorf salad, and cheese and nut sandwiches are nestled among longtime local favorites such as apple butter, rice pudding, griddle cakes, and Benedictine, the cucumber sandwich spread bore Benedict's name. Throughout the cookbook, Benedict's delightful voice shines. Benedict, who was once the most famous caterer in Louisville and also operated a celebrated tea room and soda fountain, trained with Fannie Farmer at the Boston Cooking School. Five editions of Benedict's famous cookbook were published, and her aim in sharing her recipes was simple; as she mentions in the preface, "I have tried to give the young housekeeper just what she needs, and for more experienced ones, the best that can be had in the culinary art." As a creative entrepreneur, Benedict had a significant influence on the local culture and foodways. Her sweet and savory dishes were the stars of many Derby parties, and yet she placed equal emphasis on simple luncheon and dinner recipes to satisfy the needs of home cooks. While her popular dishes graced genteel tables all over the Bluegrass, Benedict's chicken salad sandwiches, sold from a pushcart, offered Louisville children the first school lunches in the city. This new edition of The Blue Ribbon Cook Book will now welcome new generations of readers and cooks -- those who remember wearing white gloves and eating delicate tea sandwiches at the downtown department store as well as those who want to make satisfying regional classics such as blackberry jam cake like their grandmother used to make. Food writer Susan Reigler introduces the story of Benedict's life and cuisine, and this edition is the first to come complete with the now-famous spread that bears Benedict's name.

The blue ribbon cook book; being a second publication of "One hundred tested receipts," together with others which have been tried and found valuable

When we hear blue-ribbon recipes we start thinking about all of our trips to our state and local county fairs. We think about our very favorite recipes that have been handed down from the best home cooks in our families...mothers, fathers, grandmothers, sisters...even best friends and neighbors. We remember seeing all of those jars of fruits and vegetables, and rows of cakes, pies, cookies and candies lined up to be sampled in the judges' tent at the fair. Our Best Blue-Ribbon Recipes cookbook is filled with recipes that have not only won blue ribbons, but have also won the hearts of family & friends. Family-favorite recipes like Best-Ever Garlic Cheese Spread and most-requested recipes like Cheesesteak Egg Rolls are one-of-a-kind winners in our book. And a great-grandma's French Toast with Praline Sauce, handed down from the late 1800s, is one of those extra-special recipes. We filled this cookbook with as many of the award-winning, shareable, crowd-pleasing, tried & true recipes we could. From Best-Ever Breakfast Bars to start the day, to The Best-Ever Potato Salad and Iowa's Best Corn Chowder for lunch, to Top-Prize Chicken Casserole and Best-Ever Lasagna for dinner, we think you'll find some new family favorites. And no worries...we didn't forget about dessert! You'll want to try Favorite Pecan Pie Cobbler and Blue-Ribbon Banana Cake, just to name a few. We hope you enjoy this special recipe collection showcasing the very best from our Gooseberry Patch family & friends. Now let's get cooking! 202 Recipes.

Daniel Boulud's BRAISE is the superstar chef's guide to braising. Featuring braising recipes from around the world, this book will become an instant classic and the definitive cookbook on the technique, bringing one pot meals to a whole new level. BRAISE is Daniel Boulud's definitive cookbook on the time–honored cooking technique of braising. Braising is "moist heat" cooking, where a small amount of liquid is cooked along with the food in a closed container over long periods of time. A successful braise mingles the flavors of the food being cooked with the liquid it is cooked in, and, because the cooking takes place slowly without burning the food, the technique results in rich, aromatic flavors. Daniel Boulud has collected the world's best recipes for BRAISE. Featuring dishes from Thailand, Italy, Mexico, Turkey, Lebanon, France, Russia, China and many other places, BRAISE is a comprehensive guide to braising. With simple recipes for all kinds of braises –– from meat to fish to vegetables –– the book is sure to please cooks of every skill level. Whether you're interested in the ordinary (Pot Roast) or the exotic (Quiabebe from Brazil), Boulud's expert guidance and easy to follow recipes bring the world of braise to your fingertips with welcome simplicity and intense flavour.
