Praise for ‘The Food You Want to Eat’
“‘The Food You Want to Eat’ is ‘the book you need to own.’ Ted Allen is your personal guide to easy entertaining, from thirst-quenching cocktails to classic desserts with a twist, and everything in between.”
—Bobby Flay
“‘The Food You Want to Eat’ is a great first cookbook for anyone and everyone. Ted knows his stuff—which are the best ingredients and what are the smartest, simplest, and tastiest ways to prepare them. More important is his friendliness—he demystifies the daunting mysteries of good cooking, wine pairing and fine dining.”
—Sara Moulton
“When I first picked up Ted’s book, I thought, ‘Ha! How can this man possibly know what I want to eat?’ Then I read it ... OK, so he does know what I want to eat, but I bet he can't make it the way I like it. Then I cooked from the book and ... OK, somehow he does know. Accessible, tasty, educational and effortlessly elegant (think Carey Grant), this is the kind of kitchen guide you’ll want to give to all your friends. Just never lend out your own copy.”
—Alton Brown
