Edible Austin and Farmhouse Delivery Host:
The Essential New York Times Cookbook
Launch Event

914 Shady Lane • Austin, TX 78702
A cookbook unlike any other, The Essential New York Times Cookbook [W. W. Norton; October 25, 2010; $40.00 cloth] encompasses both innovative and classic recipes, celebrating the breadth of America’s evolving relationship with food. The cookbook began when Hesser—author of the acclaimed Cooking with Mr. Latte and former food editor for the Times—placed an ad in the Times simply asking readers for their favorite recipes the paper has ever published. The rush of letters, emails, and yellowed, newsprint recipes propelled Hesser into the kitchen, where she meticulously tested every dish with the modern, time-pressed home cook in mind. Intrigued by the paper’s 150-year food history and inspired by the passionate response from readers, Hesser dug further into the paper’s archives, uncovering pleasant surprises, modern classics, and truly standout dishes from the world’s best chefs.
