A great guide to NYC restaurants, and shopping February 3, 2005
5 out of 5 found this review helpful
New York Cookbook is a witty, chatty book capturing the essense of New York City through it's unique food culture. There are over 400 delicious recipes from eateries famous, and not so well-known; plus mini-shopping guides to various New York neighborhoods such as Bay Ridge, Chinatown, Flushing, Greenpoint, Arthur Avenue, Hell's Kitchen, and Jackson Heights. Note, the book was published in 1992, and some of the shops mentioned in the book have either moved, or have gone out of business. nevertheles, this book is a great resource. rkchin. http://www.nychinatown.org
More Than A Cookbook November 25, 2004
6 out of 6 found this review helpful
This book not only has recipes. It also has stories. Stories about the background of the recipes. Stories about the people behind the recipes. It is fun to read about the background of some of the areas I lived near or visited when I lived in Brooklyn as a child. This was one of my first cookbooks. Now that I have well over 50 cookbooks, this one still remains one of my favorites.
Just reading it will almost satisfy you! December 30, 2003

Wow! I live about 20 minutes from NYC, and travel there frequently to dine. The recipes in this book truly are the best of the best of the various ethnic delights available to the visitor. Every recipe in this book that I've tried has been wonderful! The stories about each recipe give the book a sense of true authenticity, and the 'articles' interspersed throughout are fabulous reading. As an avid cookbook collector, I am surprised at how frequently I return to this book to choose something new to try. Definitely a must have on any cook's shelf.
The cookbook I use most often September 19, 2003

I've got a bookcase filled with cookbooks I've collected over the years, and this is the one I use most, for every day, entertaining, and pot luck dishes. It always proves to be a favorite housewarming, bridal shower or hostess gift - everyone I've given it to raves about it.What distinguishes "The New York Cookbook" is that it is a well researched and imaginative experience as varied, surprising and unique as my home city is - filled with ethnic groups, suprising combinations and a multitude of flavors and experiences that are never boring. The recipes, tips and stories are always refreshing and enlightening - rarely bland, and interesting and appealing for every occasion. From "quick cook" everyday meals to elaborate celebrations, you'll find the best of the best in "The New York Cookbook." And wonderful cross-section of interviews and stories will make you feel like you're right at home in the kitchens and a regular guest in the restaurants spotlighted in this wonderful book. I wish that there was a follow up to this book, as well as others by the very imaginative and energetic author/editor.
One of my favorite Cookbooks! January 21, 2003

Molly O'Neill's cookbook yields a melting pot of flavors and cooking styles that can only come from New York. Along with excellent recipes, the book is accented with neighborhood stories from which they originate. It's truly a pleasure to read and of course, cook up these marvelous "tastes of america". A staple for every cooks bookshelf!
