New York Cult Recipes - Hardcover

"It's cookbook season, and a couple stand out as must-haves for New York gourmands. "New York Cult Recipes' was written by former New Yorker Marc Grossman, who now lives in Paris with his family and missed the food he grew up with, like black and white cookies, matzo ball soup and cheesecake. The book, which is beautifully shot in locations like Katz's Deli and Murray's Sturgeon Shop, features instructions on how to make the dishes when you're far from the Big Apple." --New York Daily News

" . . . the book feels very true to American culinary traditions and trends . . . Featuring a fresh design and doable recipes for many of America's favorite comfort foods, this cookbook will make a great gift for anyone who loves New York." --Library Journal

Take a bite of the Big Apple! Paris may be the capital of haute cuisine, but expat Marc Grossman craves the comfort food he grew up with in New York and Brooklyn. So he has lovingly recreated those iconic recipes, from blintzes, bialys, and black & white cookies to pork buns, cheeseburgers, cheesecake, matzo ball soup, and everything in between. Grossman zooms in on particular neighborhoods and their special fare, and even includes addresses of his favorite places to chow down—including Greek restaurants like Tom's and Big Nick's, kosher delis like Barney Greengrass and Murray's Sturgeon shop, or Brooklyn's café-bakeries like Four & Twenty Blackbirds and Bakeri.
