New American Table is a gorgeous, large format cookbook filled with lavish photography. There are not only sumptuous, color photos of many of the dishes, but also photos of markets, ingredients, people cooking and people eating. I had not heard of Marcus Samuelson but his recipes are unique, full of interesting and different flavors and flavor combinations.
I cooked three recipes from New American Table. Farro-Orange Salad was a hearty, filling salad with a well rounded flavor and texture. The co...more

Have been cooking a lot from this book and really like the clean, tasty results! When I first got the book and perused through it, I was surprised that there weren't a lot of photos of the food, now I know! The recipes are mighty tasty, but not photogenic. Probably won't be posting too many on Foodo.

This is so much more than a cookbook! The narratives make it a really personal experience, there are tips and comments about almost every recipe, and the photography is absolutely beautiful. Most of the recipes are doable for any home cook--I came away with many new dishes to try. All 3 of this author's cookbooks have been amazing.

Beautiful cookbook. Pretty pictures. A wide range of recipes from around the world. Hard cover and very heavy. Also, I'm a pescaterian so there are many things in here I can't eat. But the things I can eat look delicious.
Amy Lutchen
Fabulous stories and wonderful, innovative recipes from a very humble and inspiring individual. I captured his attention by squealing in the audience and he actually came over, smiled, and shook my hand. *blushing*

Great! I am giving it a 4 star rating only because some of the flavor combinations which are so unique get a little crazy on a few recipes. Very unique and easy cook book (rare from some of these famous chefs.)
Janet
Fascinating potpourri of eclectic recipes that I will no doubt try to recreate, even if I never make it to his restaurant, Aquavit.
