She has dazzled family and friends in the musical world for more than fifty years with her delectable cooking-- and now she shares her secrets.
After years of producing superb meals for Maestro Arthur and their family and friends the world over, Nela Rubinstein has at last put down in this charming and inspiring cookbook her most coveted recipes, her refreshing thoughts on menus for all sorts of occasions (and non-occasions), and her joyous memories of cooking for those she loves. Her style in the kitchen is a combination of the old-world Polish cooking on which she was raised with touches of the cuisines of France and Spain, where the Rubinsteins lived, and of the easy American ways that she made her own during their years in California and New York.
No matter how many cookbooks you may already possess, my wife and I happily recommend your adding Nela Rubenstein's to your collection. It's indispensible. Cary Grant
One of the great pleasures of visiting the Rubinstein home, apart from being in the master's company, was having a meal cooked by Nela, who not only mastered the Polish cuisine but, having lived in Paris for so many years, served the best from the French and East European worlds. Zubin Mehta
