In 717 pages it gives nearly 1,500 recipes for all occasions, selected from more than 10,000 that have appeared in the New York Times, and prepared and tested by the Times food staff and kitchens. It is beautifully illustrated with 16 pages in full color and 133 black and white photographs, many of which accompany the recipes and cooking procedures."

Some recipes to try (according to reviewers of the book) "The Hamburger Potato Roll recipe is worth the cost of the book" "I made my wedding cake from the Nova Scotia fruitcake recipe. It's the best. And the recipe for Kourambiedes is sheer perfection." "It has the best ceasar salad recipe in the whole world."
