Author Description

Here is the long-awaited cookbook from Andre Soltner, for decades the chef-proprietor of Lutece, New York's most famous restaurant. Here is a record of all the wondrous dishes with which he dazzled his faithful customers for more than thirty years - 333 recipes, carefully worked out, brought together for the first time. Seymour Britchky, the noted restaurant reporter, sets the tone with an affectionate and colorful introduction; it tells the little-known story of the birth of Lutece, and the charmed life it led under the aegis of Andre Soltner.
