Here's a shout-out for a great new cookbook with awesome photos of interior design from some of the most gorgeous apartments on Manhattan's upper east side.The cookbook, Park Avenue Potluck Celebrations is available from www.amazon.com. The recipes are mostly classic style recipes that the ladies and gentlemen on Park Avenue use for entertaining. They including: beef bourguignon, bouillabaisse, beef Stroganoff ("in a New York minute"), bean salad, just to mention recipes from the 'b' section of the index. I've made several of these recipes and they are wonderful.
In addition, photographer Ben Fink offers snap shot views into the homes and gardens in both Manhattan and the Hamptons. The photos are of gorgeous place settings, classic dining rooms, warm and elegant living rooms and so much more.
In addition, profits from the sale of this book go to the Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center.

ReplyDeleteThe first recipe that I made from the cookbook was Short Ribs Bourguignon. I altered the recipe to use scallops instead of pork. Here's a link to cut and paste into your browser for a photo of the recipe:
