Reinventing the Classics: All the Classic Recipes You Ever Wanted Updated by Today's Best Epicurean Mag Book

Certain recipes have become modern classics, from herb-roasted chicken and guacamole to chef innovations like molten chocolate cake and miso-glazed cod. In this collection, we provide easy recipes for these dishes, give variations (like a peanut-butter filling for that molten chocolate cake) and create incredible menus around them, including wine pairings.

These recipes come from Grace Parisi's wildly popular column in the Tasting and Testing section of the magazine where each month she perfects a favorite recipe. Alongside these simple instructions, Parisi provides kitchen insider tips that take the ordinary dish and make it extraordinary. She also provides three Great Variations on these popular recipes. For example she will take your mother's chicken soup and create Korean Chicken Soup, Ukrainian Chicken Soup and West African Chicken soup with simple changes to ingredients and preparation techniques.
