Time Life 'The Good Cook' Series with Richard Olney (editor)
If any series of publications have given us satisfaction and been a
constant source of reference then the Time Life 'The Good Cook' Series
edited by Richard Olney has to be it.
There is little doubt that any observer of the cookbook scene would nominate this tour-de-force in their pantheon of greats.
Even though the recipe listing is a compendium of already published material, it is the intelligent selection of recipes and the large section at the front of each book showing the techniques required to achieve the desired results that is so appealing. It also does not take shortcuts. If you need to bone a duck as the starting point for a recipe then that is what you are shown how to do!
The editor for the series was the incredibly talented Richard Olney, one of our favourite food writers.
