Description
Book SynopsisHelen Corbitt is to American cuisine what Julia Child is to French. She insisted on the finest, freshest ingredients, served with impeccable style. As Director of Food Services for Neiman Marcus's Zodiac Room, she dazzled celebrities and dignitaries who flocked there for tantalizing cuisine. In
The Best from Helen Corbitt's Kitchens, Patty MacDonald serves up more than 500 favourite recipes from
Helen Corbitt's Cookbook and her four later cookbooks, as well as many never before published recipes from her cooking schools.
Trade ReviewCorbitt presided over the Zodiac Room from 1955 to 1969, drawing scores of loyal customers and bringing the city itself a new level of dining sophistication.... [The book has] certain magical recipes: the poppy seed dressing, of course, and the orange souffle. The chicken salad with grapes. Miss Corbitt's bouillabaisse, which 'tastes like Marseilles out your back door'." -
