The WALDORF-ASTORIA COOKBOOK opens the doors to the hotel's kitchens, where a team of seven chefs de cuisine, 10 sous-chefs, and 110 cooks, all led by Executive Chef John Doherty, serve the finest meals to a demanding public 24 hours a day, seven days a week at three restaurants, four bars and a grand ballroom, and, of course around-the-clock room service for 1,250 rooms (an innovation in the hotel industry that began at the Waldorf over a hundred years ago). The book features more than 120 recipes by chef Doherty and his staff, from breakfast (Irish Oatmeal BrulŽe with Strawberry Coulis) to lunch (Oscar's Spicy Asian Chicken Salad) to dinner (Filet Mignon with Blue Cheese Crust, Port Wine Sauce, and Béarnaise). With beautiful food photography, atmospheric and archival images of the hotel, as well as new takes on historical recipes such as the Waldorf Salad and fascinating sidebars that tell the rich history of the hotel, this gorgeous volume is a must-have for cookbook collectors. |

From pre Civil War bartending to the night clubs of the 1940s, these bar books document the trends and mores of their respective eras. Beginning with the first known recipe book compiled for those seeking to serve sophisticated beverages, through the birth of many of the 21st century's drink standards and the tales of those who consumed them, these drink guides provide an insider's glimpse into the excess and splendor of the pre- and post-Prohibition eras.
Based on the actual bar book used by the Waldorf-Astoria prior to Prohibition, this collection of cocktails serves up more than 350 recipes. In addition to documenting the origin of many cocktails and mixed drinks still commonplace today, the book chronicles the background of their creation and the antics of some of the cronies Buffalo Bill Cody and Bat Masterson, among others who were regulars at the bar.

This is a celebrity biography about a great hotel -- in fact, for millions of people across the land and countless more around the world, it is America's most famous hotel. Now approaching its seventy-fifth anniversary in 2006 on its Park Avenue site, The Waldorf-Astoria has been home to kings, magnates, presidents and many of the greatest cultural talents of the Twentieth Century. General Douglas MacArthur chose to retire in the Waldorf Towers; Cole Porter lived in suite 33A for many years, which Frank Sinatra paid one million dollars a year to live in after Porter died. "The grand cities of the world have their grand hotels, the bed-and-breakfasts for the mighty and the moneyed. Ward Morehouse III explores one of New York City's grandest in The Waldorf-Asrtoria: America's Gilded Dream ... Morehouse writes of pleasures and scandals, of the hard facts of running a hotel and of its romance. The hotel comes off well in the hands of its appreciative Boswell and one will find "The Waldorf-Astoria" to be a pleasant buffet." - The New York Times, Sunday Book Review Section |

Webster's bibliographic and event-based timelines are comprehensive in scope, covering virtually all topics, geographic locations and people. They do so from a linguistic point of view, and in the case of this book, the focus is on "Waldorf-Astoria," including when used in literature (e.g. all authors that might have Waldorf-Astoria in their name). As such, this book represents the largest compilation of timeline events associated with Waldorf-Astoria when it is used in proper noun form. Webster's timelines cover bibliographic citations, patented inventions, as well as non-conventional and alternative meanings which capture ambiguities in usage. These furthermore cover all parts of speech (possessive, institutional usage, geographic usage) and contexts, including pop culture, the arts, social sciences (linguistics, history, geography, economics, sociology, political science), business, computer science, literature, law, medicine, psychology, mathematics, chemistry, physics, biology and other physical sciences. This "data dump" results in a comprehensive set of entries for a bibliographic and/or event-based timeline on the proper name Waldorf-Astoria, since editorial decisions to include or exclude events is purely a linguistic process. The resulting entries are used under license or with permission, used under "fair use" conditions, used in agreement with the original authors, or are in the public domain. |
