PrintIsaac Mizrahi Names His Favorite Cookbooks
The latest in Heidi Swanson's "Favorite Cookbooks" series on 101 Cookbooks features fashion designer Isaac Mizrahi dishing on his go-to cooking guides. Among others: Complete Techniques, Jacques Pepin; How to Cook Everything, Mark Bittman; Lidia Bastianch's books; and, hey, check it out: The Young Man and the Sea, by Dave Pasternack and Serious Eats' own Ed Levine! Says Mizrahi:
I wouldn't know what to call my cooking style. Sometimes it's hit-or-miss but mostly it's plain, plain, plain. I think the best things are the plainest. The best thing I make is mint chocolate chip ice cream with fresh mint that comes from my garden in the summer. I'm also really good at fruit tarts now. I use Jacques Pepin's recipes for doughs, which are FLAWLESS. All his recipes are FLAWLESS. I might call my style "When a Jew Relaxes, He Can Cook Okay."
