Review:
For apparently no very good reason, except that he wants to, Loyd Grossman publishes a collection of The 125 Best Recipes. And why not? It is a highly agreeable book, an anthology of favourite recipes from favourite food writers. The recipes are published as they first appeared, with comments and explanations from Grossman. There is little point in quibbling over the criteria for inclusion: no doubt anyone could come up with hundreds of recipes just as good, but these are all excellent. They comprise, as Grossman explains, "my hit parade of recipes I think no cook should be without". Among the most pleasurable aspects of this book may be the discovery (if one didn't already know it) that, away from the inanities of Masterchef and in print, where the mysteries of his strangulated Bostonian accent form no barrier to comprehension, Loyd Grossman is a witty, civilised and immensely knowledgeable companion, with great taste.
He draws on an impressively wide range of cooks from around the world, including just about all the top-flight writers one has ever heard of--David, Grigson, Mosimann, Robuchon, del Conte, Hazan, Blanc, among dozens of others, all first-rate, including the remarkable Sheila Ferguson, an American cook and author who moonlighted as the lead singer of the Three Degrees. --Robin Davidson
