Relive the best of 1990s culinary history with "Comforting Foods," a rare 1996 collection compiled by Norman Kolpas to benefit Project Open Hand. This First Edition features a "who’s who" of 64 iconic American chefs, including Alice Waters, Bobby Flay, Thomas Keller, Roy Yamaguchi, and Gary Danko.
The book contains 173 recipes ranging from appetizers to braises and breads, each capturing the era's peak "comfort food" philosophy. This volume isn't just a cookbook; it’s a charitable artifact of San Francisco’s social history. A must-have for culinary students, fans of the specific chefs featured, or collectors of scarce mid-90s food literature. Clean, crisp, and gift-ready.
Item condition: Very Good vintage condition. The hardcover shows original vibrant color with only minimal shelf wear. The spine is tight and straight. Internal pages are exceptionally clean, white, and crisp with no writing, stains, dog-ears, or kitchen scents.
