Neiman Marcus Cookbook by Kevin Garvin with John Harrisson ($45.00, Clarkson Potter) is one gorgeous and useful book, with super-saturated color photography and well-written recipes. The recipes reflect American cooking at its best: Eastern shore crabcakes, herb-crusted salmon, chopped salad, braised pot roast, Reuben sandwich. Good head notes, easy-to-buy ingredients, clear cooking methods. Pricy, yes. But there’s nothing frou-frou about this book (except its good looks). |
