The Lutèce Cookbook (André Soltner with Seymour Britchky)

Product Info

It would simply be very, very difficult to overstate the influence of André Soltner on New York and its representation of French cooking. For over thirty years he was chef/owner of Lutéce which has been called “an outpost of Paris itself.”  In 1995 Library Journal said, “Devotees will be especially glad to have this cookbook. It is really a recipe book and Soltner's autobiography in one, a record of how real French food and dining were introduced in the United States. Lutece is known for perfect renditions of classic dishes, and they are all here, with newer ones as well. Many of the recipes are neither everyday fare nor the type of food most people would cook today, but this is both a history of a much-loved institution and a cookbook, to read as much as to cook from. Highly recommended.” On offer is a 6th printing from 2001. It is a hardback with dust jacket in like-new condition. Included is an autographed card from a 2002 cruise.  (previously owned)
