Charlie Palmer

Charlie Palmer knows what we love to eat. First at his Manhattan classic, Aureole, and now after also cooking for us in Las Vegas, Los Angeles, and the California wine country, Chef Palmer has come to personify the new American cuisine. Now back in print, GREAT AMERICAN FOOD is Charlie Palmer’s collection of seminal recipes along with more than 100 photographs. These are numerous of the most universally popular, irresistibly American dishes Chef Palmer has ever made: Dungeness Crab and New Potato Salad, Mushroom-Crusted Lamb Chops with Balsamic Jus, and Warm Apple Pudding. For all of us who love the generous spirit of American cooking and the territorial flavors it champions, Charlie Palmer’s basi book, GREAT AMERICAN FOOD, is a timeless addition to the nation’s culinary repertoire.

From Publishers WeeklyPalmer is owner/chef of Manhattan’s systematically top-rated Aureole, and his introductory cookbook reflects the elegance and high standards of that and his other restaurants. While cookbook writer Choate’s experience helps make this fare more accessible to the home cook, the recipes here belong to an exacting restaurant tradition and call to mind the works of Chicago chef and author Charlie Trotter. Spice-Seared Cervena Venison with Apple-Turnip Conserve, Marinated Leeks, and Caramel Jus; Preserved Duck Salad Roulade with Roquefort Vinaigrette; and Four-Grain Vegetable Risotto (which requires pre-cooking millet, oat groats, kasha and bulghur separately) are among the dishes that challenge and reward the focalized home cook. Margin notes from both writers add to data in recipe headers but most times border on cute. Alongside Soft Potato Ravioli with Truffle Pan Sauce (in the chapter titled “Some Simple Foods”), Choate notes that mushrooms may alternate for the truffle, but warns “Don’t tell Charlie.” Palmer turns clever tricks with meat and it is derivatives: Mushroom-Crusted Lamb Chops with Balsamic Jus are coated with fresh and dried mushrooms, and Roasted Halibut “T-Bone” with Beef Juices is basted with veal stock. A few dishes (Vegetable Couscous) are simple and flavorful, and, as Choate repeatedly points out, elements of most complex recipes may be prepared in advance. The majority of the recipes, however, stay labor-intensive. That is, after all, the success-secret of chefs like Palmer.

From Library JournalPalmer is the chef/owner of Aureole, a three-star restaurant in New York City, and collaborator in two other Manhattan restaurants. His spectacular creations may not be what most persons envision when they think of “great American food,” but they surely qualify as “great food”: Sauteed Foie Gras with Savory Corn Cakes, Caramelized Duck Breast with Nicoise Olives and Lemon Confit. Palmer and feed writer Choate have made the recipes clear and understandable, emphasizing advance preparation whenever possible, and “Notes from Charlie” and “from Judie” make them even more accessible. But there’s no denying that these are restaurant dishes, not for each and everyday cooking. More than 100 color photographs, galore full-page, illustrate the recipes, the restaurants, and the ingredients. A luxurious book; for libraries serving foodies and other huge collections.

From BooklistNew York City chef Charlie Palmer, celebrated for his Aureole restaurant, advocates the use of the finest available ingredients. The care he lavishes on his restaurant is reflected in this cookbook, which seeks to duplicate his cuisine in the home. Coauthor Judith Choate has tested Palmer’s recipes on a two-burner stove, and altho the chef’s proficiencies prove reproducible, his ingredients will challenge any person outside America’s major urban areas. (Even his list of roots for ingredients offers no counsel outside New York and New Jersey.) Beef tenderloin with foie gras^-stuffed morels makes graceful restaurant dining, but it does stretch the conception of “American” cooking to it is outermost limits. As a record of Palmer’s talent for outstanding, eye-catching presentation, the book’s lavish illustrations raise appetites immediately. For comprehensive collections. Mark Knoblauch

Lots of great dishes, a lot of hard work
By J. Moore
It shouldn’t be surprising that a Charlie Palmer cookbook is going to implicate a lot of work. But once you get past that and have a kitchen with a great deal of room and somebody to clean up after you; prepare to wow your guests.

In the words of a friend of mine, I haven’t seen anything with that kind of movature in a long time.

That’s a good thing.
