Judy Rodgers The Zuni Cafe Cookbook Hardcover First Edition 2002 Multicolor

The Zuni Cafe Cookbook by Judy Rodgers is not just a recipe collection, it's widely considered one of the great American cookbooks. This first edition hardcover (confirmed true first printing) from W. W. Norton & Company brings together recipes, wine notes by Gerald Asher, and photography by Gentl & Hyers/Edge, distilling everything that made Zuni Cafe a San Francisco institution: the art of tasting, seasoning, and technique taught with real clarity.  The praise on the back cover isn't the usual blurb filler, it's from people who actually know food. Alice Waters, the godmother of California cuisine and founder of Chez Panisse, calls Judy Rodgers' cooking an artist's palette. Chuck Williams, founder of Williams-Sonoma, writes it's a book he's relishing every recipe of. Harold McGee (On Food and Cooking), Deborah Madison (Vegetarian Cooking for Everyone), Marion Cunningham (The Fannie Farmer Cookbook), and Paula Wolfert all add their names too, this is a book the people who write cookbooks for a living recommend to each other.
