As a viewer who has watched the chef/author for some time, I ordered a copy to give to my sister for Christmas... even though it was in the "used" section, the book was fine. However, I decided that I would like my own copy, and when that one arrived it was almost pristine... thinking of swapping it out with her so she can have a perfect dust jacket. However, those are just the cosmetics..as the recipes inside are really well written, historic and completely original. A marvelous book, for recipes or for reference, or just for the coffee table! If you have any interest in history, or simply like great food, prepared simply, get a copy!

Arrived in great condition, and in a timely fashion. I am pleased with the different recipes selections. It was to be a Christmas gift for my Son. We love looking at recipes together and he had taken my place as a great cook in the family. I bought 3 others cookbooks to join this 1. Sadly my Son has died!

It is unfortunate the Tavern has closed, but the cookbook lives on! Wonderful, historic American food. I particularly love the Turkey Pot Pie recipe; it reminds me of the meals that were served my students, when we visited Philadelphia.

Love the book. It is a nice size to handle(not too small). The instructions are clear and detailed. But my favorite element of the book are the helpful hints and the history related to the food and the tavern.
I just came back from Philadelphia and visited the city tavern. I got the honor of checking out the cookbooks there and they were all excellent especially this one. Kicked myself for not buying it so glad I found it on ebay! Highly recommend!!!!
