See You on Sunday by Sam Sifton
NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER * From the New York Times food editor and former restaurant critic comes a cookbook to help us rediscover the art of Sunday supper and the joy of gathering with friends and family"A book to make home cooks, and those they feed, very happy indeed."--Nigella Lawson
NAMED ONE OF THE BEST COOKBOOKS OF THE YEAR BY NPR * Town & Country * Garden & Gun
"People are lonely," Sam Sifton writes. "They want to be part of something, even when they can't identify that longing as a need. They show up. Feed them. It isn't much more complicated than that." Regular dinners with family and friends, he argues, are a metaphor for connection, a space where memories can be shared as easily as salt or hot sauce, where deliciousness reigns. The point of Sunday supper is to gather around a table with good company and eat.
From years spent talking to restaurant chefs, cookbook authors, and home cooks in connection with his daily work at The New York Times, Sam Sifton's See You on Sunday is a book to make those dinners possible. It is a guide to preparing meals for groups larger than the average American family (though everything here can be scaled down, or up). The 200 recipes are mostly simple and inexpensive ("You are not a feudal landowner entertaining the serfs"), and they derive from decades spent cooking for family and groups ranging from six to sixty.
From big meats to big pots, with a few words on salad, and a diatribe on the needless complexity of desserts, See You on Sunday is an indispensable addition to any home cook's library. From how to shuck an oyster to the perfection of Mallomars with flutes of milk, from the joys of grilled eggplant to those of gumbo and bog, this book is devoted to the preparation of delicious proteins and grains, vegetables and desserts, taco nights and pizza parties.
Sam Sifton is the founding editor of NYT Cooking and an assistant managing editor at The New York Times, where he is responsible for cultural and lifestyle coverage. After spells at Talk magazine, the New York Press, and American Heritage magazine, he joined The Times in 2002 as national news editor, restaurant critic, and culture editor. Thanksgiving: How to Prepare It Right and See You on Sunday: A Cookbook for Family and Friends are his books.
