Summary "The Delmonico Cook Book: How to Buy Food, How to Cook It, and How to Serve It" by Alessandro Filippini is a culinary guidebook written in the late 19th century. This comprehensive volume offers insights into the art of gastronomy, emphasizing the importance of selecting quality ingredients, mastering cooking techniques, and serving dishes elegantly. It serves as a resourceful companion for both aspiring cooks and seasoned chefs, providing a depth of knowledge that reflects the sophistication of American dining during that era. At the start of this cook book, the author introduces the pleasures associated with fine dining, highlighting the complexities of meal preparation and presentation. Filippini shares his experience from working at Delmonico's, a renowned restaurant in New York, as he discusses the abundant variety of foods available in the markets and their protagonist roles on the modern American table.
