David Rosengarten Entertains: Fabulous Parties for Food Lovers

1 review

Wiley, 2004

Let's Party!
Just reading the table of contents got me excited about entertaining. I sometimes feel stymied for great party ideas to keep up with the accomplished hostesses in our neighborhood. Here it is, all laid out for me. Already I can see my friends enjoying Grilled Pizza in the Backyard or a Mexican Street Party. The Devon Cream Tea sounds so special and for really exotic, I must try the Tunisia ...

Red Wine With Fish: The New Art of Matching Wine With Food

David Rosengarten, Joshua Wesson

Simon & Schuster, 1989

The authoritative book for pairing food and wine
For anyone seriously interested in pairing food and wine, this is the authoritative book on the subject. Using Rosengarten's technique for matching the components, textures and flavors in the wine and food can lead to some memorable meals and, at the same time, explain why others fall flat on their face. I write a wine column for my local newspaper and whenever the subject is food-wine pairing, ...

Taste: One Palate's Journey Through the World's Greatest Dishes

Random House, 1998

Not wide, but wonderfully deep
David Rosengarten's FoodTV show, Taste, beautifully illustrated how good the food network *used* to be. Instead of trying to cover several dishes during his half hour allotment, Rosengarten focused on one item in particular -- and then told you everything about it. He showed what could go wrong with, say, a reuben sandwich or creme brulee, and then demonstrated how to do it right. You knew what ...

I have tried almost every recipe in this book and every recipe truly is consistantly BETTER, whether it's chicken and dumplings, a lowly corn dog or vanilla ice cream. I have over 200 cookbooks, all by professional chefs/authors. All top notch books, ...

The Dean and DeLuca Cookbook

David Rosengarten, Joel Dean, ...

Random House, 1996

Not the only book you'll ever need, but one of the best.
This is a very useful "contemporary American" cookbook- It's well-written, informative, and full of great recipes. It's pretty ecclectic, and I find myself disappointed sometimes when I try to look something up in the index and it isn't there. It's kind of like asking your braniac friend a question and they don't have the answer- you kind ofassume that they do. This book is so good at what it ...
