from the publisher

"Jeremiah Tower is already firmly ensconced in the pantheon of great American chefs, and with this book he further cements his already formidable legend. The recipes are not only utterly mouth watering, but they are quite accessible for the home cook and professional alike. Jeremiah's love of the pleasures of the table is second to none, and it is in these pages that you will fall under his intoxicating sensual and cerebral spell."
CHARLIE TROTTER AUTHOR AND CHEF/OWNER OF CHARLIE TROTTER'S

"For years, I've considered Jeremiah Tower to be the legitimate godfather of modern American cookery, but it was only when I carefully went through and used this long-awaited, no-nonsense, highly accessible new book that I realized that he's also one of the most informed and gifted food writers of our times. Just to read the learned, lively head notes to the classic and eclectic recipes is to participate in Tower's vast, worldly experience and understand how the creative culinary mind works; the exposition of food ingredients and cooking techniques is worth the price of the book. Nobody seriously interested in food and fine cooking can afford to be without this inspired and important new book."
JAMES VILAS AUTHOR OF BETWEEN BITES: MEMOIRS OF A HUNGRY HEDONIST

"Jeremiah Tower became my instant hero the first time I set foot in Stars, three days after it opened. To this day I consider him my ultimate mentor, and his voice, style, and opinions the arbiters of taste and truth in the restaurant world. The recipes and words within this book are timeless classics, as is Jeremiah himself. I love this guy!!!"
MARIO BATALI CHEF/OWNER OF BABBO, LUPA, ESCA

"Jeremiah Tower has been a cornerstone of American cuisine for the last twenty-five years; his standard of excellence and his imagination serve as examples to us all. Jeremiah Tower Cooks is not only a visionary reflection of today's cuisine, but it brings together the essence of this culinary maestro's excellence!"
ALAIN DUCASSE CHEF/OWNER OF RESTAURANT ALAIN DUCASSE

"How I wish I had written this book. It is creative, clear, concise, and charming--like Jeremiah himself. There is a splendor of information and recipes to feed the mind, the soul, and the body. If I have one complaint it is that there is no restaurant where I can go to eat these things; but now I can have them at home..."
BARBARA KAFKA AUTHOR OF SOUP: A WAY OF LIFE AND ROASTING: A SIMPLE ART

"This book provides the reader with a wealth of information, and I enjoyed the delicious recipes as well as the wry explanatory text. Jeremiah Tower's erudite references to other cookbooks and gastronomic luminares have made me rethink my entire culinary library-this book will be one of its cornerstones."

There is a recipe in here called ‘The Dream of Edouard Nignon’ combining souffléd meringue, almond macaroons and berry cream. It has stayed in my dreams ever since I read about it.
