Summary

In "The Delmonico Cook Book," Alessandro Filippini presents an exquisite compendium that captures the essence of culinary sophistication during the late 19th century. This work serves not only as a collection of recipes from the renowned Delmonico's restaurant in New York but also as a reflection of the societal tastes and customs of an era marked by culinary innovation. Filippini's literary style marries meticulous instruction with a narrative flair, inviting readers into the world of fine dining through evocative descriptions and clear methodologies that balance accessibility with artistry. Alessandro Filippini, an esteemed chef and culinary educator, was a pivotal figure in the American gastronomy landscape. His experiences at Delmonico's, known for its lavish meals and elegant service, undoubtedly shaped his understanding of gastronomy and restaurant culture. Filippini embodies the immigrant narrative, blending Italian culinary traditions with American preferences, offering insight into the broader narrative of culinary evolution in the United States during the Gilded Age. I highly recommend "The Delmonico Cook Book" to both culinary enthusiasts and historians alike. This book not only provides a delightful exploration of recipes that can be recreated in contemporary kitchens, but it also invites readers to appreciate the cultural history embedded in each dish. Immerse yourself in the art of fine dining and discover the foundational influence of Delmonico's on American culinary practices.

Presenting a feast for the eyes as well as the tastebuds, fresh and delicious recipes are organized into chapters entitled Meze, Sea, Land, Sun, Fire and Sundowners, evoking the Greek way of life.

Meze features mouth-watering small plates for sharing from creamy whipped dips to meatballs.
