My One Hundred Favorite Recipes

During the course of a single year, more than three hundred recipes that have been tested in my home kitchen (many of which may have resulted from interviews with amateur or professional cooks) are printed in the daily and Sunday New York Times. I estimate that in the course of my tenure as food editor of The Times over the past quarter century, more than eight thousand recipes have run with my imprimatur.

The following recipes, the vast majority of which are the creation of Pierre Franey, are those I consider the hundred best to have appeared during my years as food editor.
