Synopsis
In no other period of our country's history has the food scene changed so rapidly. Exciting new ingredients are available everywhere, expanding our culinary horizons. Even casual meals have globe-trotting flavors. We want memorable dishes, and we want them to be healthy for our families and our planet. And with our busy schedules, we want them on the table faster than ever. A new culinary world calls for a new cookbook. Gourmet Today responds to our changing foodscape with more vegetarian recipes, more recipes for popular dishes from every corner of the world, more recipes for stunning meals ready in 30 minutes or less, more simple ways to prepare all the vegetables in the farmers' market, advice on choosing sustainable fish, chicken, and beef, tips on throwing an easy cocktail party, more recipes for flavorful techniques like grilling, and more recipes for the new ingredients flooding our market. Each of the over 1,000 recipes was selected by editor in chief Ruth Reichl, a best-selling author in her own right, who wrote the introductions to each chapter. Every recipe has been tested and cross-tested in the Gourmet test kitchen so every cook, whether a first-timer or a veteran, gets impeccable results. With menus for holidays and other seasonal occasions, an authoritative glossary of ingredients (plus mail-order sources), and hundreds of sidebars on ingredients and handy techniques from the test kitchen, Gourmet Today is the indispensable book for today's cook.

    40 dollars for twelve dolls is amazing. I wish I didn't have to pay so much in shipping, but I understand that's just how it is. Everything came as described, with the exception that one (1) was missing a hand, but not a huge deal. Some Barbie clothes we're included as well. The package came in good condition, and arrived within four days of purchase. I'm very excited to spruce them up, and display them.

    The glove came in as described. It was packaged well and bought at a great price. Shipping was a little high but understandable being coming across the US. Not the sellers fault. I would do business with seller again if the opportunity comes available. Highly recommended seller. A++++++

  • It's sad really

    First let me say that my actual rating is more like 4.5 stars taking away 1/2 point because there are too many recipes, imo, that have very specific items that would be a single use waste of good money to buy and never have the time or opportunity to use again. I bought this book from a library resale shop here on ebay. It arrived in brand new condition with a sticker on the front indicating it was donated to the library new by a local resident. I thought this is so very sad. It has sat on the shelf for years and doesn't look as if anyone has ever used it. This is my go to book. For nearly 10 years I can never recall a single time where I have looked in the freezer and thought, Is this all I got? What can I make for dinner with this? Then after going to this book being unable to find ...

  • A Gourmet Compendium for the Home Chef

    Great book with 1,000 approachable recipes of all kinds from a sadly long-defunct magazine. No photos which is okay with me (my wife's not thrilled). I love the breadth and scope of the recipes in the book and can't wait to start diving in.
