With the same spirit and culinary daring that catapulted the first Silver Palate Cookbook into over 700,000 homes, the Good Times Cookbook. brings to each season a sense of the memorable. Dinner a deux becomes a fireside clambake. Spring is heralded with early chSvres, curry bread, glasses of chablis. Summer sizzles with swordfish barbecue, while autumn refreshes with wild mushroom forays and the crunch of favorite nuts. And to round out the year, there's the splendid formality of Broiled Oysters with Arugula Purse and an elegant Dacquoise.
Throughout, Sheila Lukins's charming illustrations highlight the more than 450 recipes, menus, and unexpected pairings. Sidebars and marginalia resolve the dilemmas of modern entertaining-whether Beaujolais is lusty enough for lamb, which cheeses start a meal and which end it with a flourish, how to make the presentation of food as lush as the taste. Main Selection of the Quality Paperback Book and Book-of-the-Month Cooking and Crafts Clubs; Selection of the Book-of-the-Month Club, Better Homes & Gardens Family Book Service, and ABA Basic Booklist. Winner of a Duncan Hines IACP Cookbook Award. Over 1.3 million copies in print.

5.0 out of 5 stars
Essential resource for entertaining!,
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: The Silver Palate Good Times Cookbook (Paperback)
This is a great accompaniment to the original Silver Palette Cookbook. The emphasis here is on entertaining, so the recipes are frequently more formal and serve larger quantities. The book is arranged seasonally with proposed menus (i.e. a Kentucky Derby party, mid-winter skiing holiday). You'll get great ideas for parties just looking through the book. Plus, there are lots of great tips on planning a party and cooking for a crowd. I particularly recommend the Broccoli-Watercress Soup - I return to it again and again as the definitive cream of broccoli soup. If you're not able to brine your Thanksgiving turkey (which is my personal favorite but very time consuming), the recipe and cooking method in this book is the next best thing. Also, their turkey saves better than any other I've tried. Martha Stewart has better pictures of entertaining in her cookbooks, but this book has the best recipes for entertaining and is the most practical for your typical cook.

outstanding recipes make any meal a special occasion!,

This review is from: The Silver Palate Good Times Cookbook (Hardcover)
Alright, these recipes are not nutritionally-correct. Many are high on fats and sugars. But when you want a special dish to really "wow" your guests, or to celebrate a special occasion, this is the book you'll turn to! Not only are the recipes great, but the sidebars have lots of useful tips for serving and entertaining. This is one of the two or three most used cookbooks in my collection!

My favorite cookbook,
By "bluesnowman" (Pleasanton, CA United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Silver Palate Good Times Cookbook (Paperback)
This is the most used book in my kitchen. I love the seasonal approach, and always look at the book for dinner and entertaining ideas at the start of each season.Some of my favorites are Bobbies Roast Chicken (ginger, mustard, lemon, mmmm!), June's Apple Crisp, some of the unusual and festive winter vegetables dishes (how about Brussels sprouts with maple and walnut vinaigrette or the Ruby Radishes?). Christmas is very special indeed with the Red and Green Christmas Salad (spinach, avocado and pomegranates) with Warm Champagne Vinegar Dressing. Buy it, you will feel inspired to be more creative with your cooking!
