The Williams-Sonoma Cookbook: The Essential Recipe Collection for Today's Home Cook
I have always admired Chuck for his relentless drive to find the perfect piece of equipment and his commitment to the art of the kitchen. From teaching classes at his store on Rodeo Drive to buying equipment at his flagship San Francisco store in the late 1970s, I have always considered Chuck Williams and his company an integral part of my culinary journey.The Williams-Sonoma Cookbook, extensive, thorough, and lavishly illustrated, reflects that search for quality that is the trademark of its founder. -- Jacques PÉpin, PBS-TV cooking series host, cookbook author, and teacherChuck Williams is an American icon for a reason. He truly understands the relationship between simplicity and style. For decades, his store, Williams-Sonoma, culled through hundreds of coffee makers and roasting pans to offer the only one that you really need to own. It was always simple, beautiful, and of the best quality. Chuck's cookbooks do the same thing. His recipes are exactly what you want to eat, use simple ingredients, and they're delicious. This is a wonderful book! -- Ina Garten, author, Barefoot Contessa cookbooks
