Book Description

June 1997
Quality, variety, and freshness have been hallmarks of the Reading Terminal Market for over a century. Now everyone can treat themselves to the tastes of the market in their own homes and, at the same time, learn the remarkable history of one of America's premier farmer's markets.

Each section of the book presents a different aspect of the market, and all of the merchants share special recipes that can be created easily with ingredients that are readily available at the market. This is a special cookbook that also celebrates the dedication of merchants, the loyalty of customers, and the diversity of cultures and neighborhoods that this historic market serves.

Editorial Reviews

From Booklist

For more than a century, Philadelphia's Reading Terminal Market has provided meats and produce to city residents. With the recent opening of the city's convention center just next door, the Market has become a tourist destination as well. The range of ethnic foods available in the Market reflects the spectrum of recent immigrant groups who have displaced the Pennsylvania Dutch settlers. More than simply a glitzy tourist come-on, the Market continues to attract ordinary Philadelphians with fresh, raw ingredients for their home kitchens. Hazan and Smith have scoured Reading Terminal Market's stalls and food stands to compile this cookbook that reproduces favorites from the Market's prepared foods as well as offers recipes employing the farmers' stalls' produce. Greek spinach pie and Chinese sesame noodles supplement old-line Philadelphia favorites, such as scrapple and shoofly pie. Regional collections will want to purchase this culinary documentary of a revivified Philadelphia institution.

Review

The Reading Terminal Market Cookbook features dozens of mouth-watering recipes from Philadelphia's venerable "Reading Terminal Market" (many of the Market's stalls have been run by the same family for generations). From Turkey Noodle Soup, Pearl's Fried Oysters, and Delilah's Old-Fashioned Banana Pudding to Mu-Shu Vegetables, Metropolitan Focaccia, and Lavender Jelly, The Reading Terminal Market Cookbook recipes will evoke the sights, smells and flavors of an original bit of culinary Americana. -- Midwest Book Review

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Cooking!, February 17, 2000
This review is from: The Reading Terminal Market Cookbook (Paperback)
For those of you who think Philly cooking is cheesesteaks and soft pretzels, think again. The Reading Terminal Market is a simply amazing place to shop and eat, and this cookbook brings the flavor home. From Pennsylvania Dutch recipes to lasagna, this is a great book!

5.0 out of 5 stars History AND Recipes, February 21, 2003
This review is from: The Reading Terminal Market Cookbook (Paperback)
History and recipes all in one book! What a great combination. The photos, old and new, also greatly added to my enjoyment of this book.

This is a great cookbook, and the history of Philadelphia's Reading Terminal Market is an added bonus. I have visited the market, a true gastronomic feast, many times but was never aware of its fascinating history and how it came to be. This knowledge will add greatly to my future enjoyment when I visit again.

I was delighted to find the recipes from some of my favorite vendors and plan to re-create my eating experiences by making many of them.
