I still love Mimi Sheraton

[NWKate]

I have several of her books and had purchased 1000 foods before my recent retirement.  I recently unearthed it from my Subaru and must recommend it to you all.  She has such a gift for writing and for taste that I am almost able to taste the flavor from her brief descriptions.  I am going to make baked apples, latkes (with our beloved Steve Shaw in mind),  Cioppino, and Kim Chi. What  do you think?

I think you'll need to take some photos and show us the results!  I've never cooked from any of her books, but 1000 Foods to Eat Before You Die looks like an interesting read.

For two years I worked in my company's New York office.  The boss who was a serious gourmand (and cooked in his corner office) knew her well.  I was lucky enough to meet her and join the two of them for many New York lunches.  

 

She more than anyone encouraged me to get serious and learn to cook;  something I've never regretted.

 

In those days, I thought the New York Times film critic was the best in the country, read everything he wrote.  I followed Ms. Sheraton that way, too.  And, yes, I have many of her books.
