The WALDORF-ASTORIA COOKBOOK opens the doors to the hotel's
kitchens, where a team of seven chefs de cuisine, 10
sous-chefs, and 110 cooks, all led by Executive Chef John
Doherty, serve the finest meals to a demanding public 24
hours a day, seven days a week at three restaurants, four
bars and a grand ballroom, and, of course around-the-clock
room service for 1,250 rooms (an innovation in the hotel
industry that began at the Waldorf over a hundred years ago). The book features more than 120 recipes by chef Doherty and
his staff, from breakfast (Irish Oatmeal BrulŽe with
Strawberry Coulis) to lunch (Oscar's Spicy Asian Chicken
Salad) to dinner (Filet Mignon with Blue Cheese Crust, Port
Wine Sauce, and Béarnaise). With beautiful food photography,
atmospheric and archival images of the hotel, as well as new
takes on historical recipes such as the Waldorf Salad and
fascinating sidebars that tell the rich history of the
hotel, this gorgeous volume is a must-have for cookbook
collectors.
