Foreword by Julia Child

An American Feast
Imagine a meal created by your favorite public television chefs. Savory appetizers by Martin Yan. An elegant entrée by Jacques Pépin. A scrumptious dessert by Nathalie Dupree. And your hostess? Julia Child.

Such a feast does exist. An American Feast is the companion cookbook to the three-hour live public television special in which five of the country's most popular public television chefs create one of the greatest progressive dinners of all time.

This lavishly illustrated celebration of cooking on public television includes recipes for all of the dishes prepared on the show as well as dozens of others. An American Feast is organized by course, with starters including Yan's Lobster Potstickers; side dishes including Lidia Matticchio Bastianich's Risotto with Wild Mushrooms and Truffles; entrées such as Sesame Crusted Fish by Paul Prudhomme and Tournedos of Beef Du Barry by Pépin; and sweet selections such as Dupree's Chocolate-Nut Pie.

With 100 recipes from over 35 of America's favorite public television chefs, An American Feast has something for everyone's palate. In addition to the dishes created by the five featured chefs, you'll find Rick Stein's Mussels with Tomato, Celery and Saffron Butter, the Two Fat Ladies' Lobster with Latkas, and Graham Kerr's Curried Chicken, Sweet Potatoes, and Bananas Wakaya, among many other mouthwatering choices.

An American Feast is a historic meeting of chefs, a delight for the taste buds, and a must-have for the kitchen.
