I have had the silver palate cookbook since the mid-eighties, when a friend brought it back from the States for me and I am actually ordering a new copy now because my old one has been used to tatters. This is really my favourite and most used cookbook, even here in the middle of Africa where not everything is always available. People just love what I make from the book and I am often asked for recipes. We are all particularly keen on 'the stew pot' recipes such as 'Dilled blanquete de veau', 'Beef Stroganoff' and 'Chili for a crowd' and we love the mousses as desserts. Of course it's a bit over the top to have to use 'best quality imported virgin olive oil' all the time, so I don't. But with regular olive oil it all works out too!
I can strongly recommend this book to anyone who loves cooking (and eating).

The Silver Palate's receipts are either wonderful hits or bizarre misses. All the receipts are truly inventive, and either that translates into simple elegant creations where the ingredients work well with each other (but you never would have thought to put them together), or elaborate procedures involving expensive ingredients that one would never have sitting around the kitchen (and is not likely to use again) and which aren't worth the trouble. One great success is a luscious summer pasta receipt with raw tomatoes, basil, olive oil, garlic... and brie... truly sumptuous and prepared in about ten minutes. All in all, still a must have.

As an American living in France, I am amazed at the complements that I receive when I cook anything from this book. In fact mine is in shreds and I am ordering a new one. My French friends are always asking for the recipes and when I tell them it is an "American" recipe they are thrilled. Cook away and discover really international cuisine.

Too froufrou for me!
I found this cookbook to be lacking in the warmthness that epitomizes home-cooking. Its recipes were too restaurant style. Im sorry I bought the book.
