Hundreds of cookbooks are published every year, thousands have been published since the early 1980s. But few had the impact that 1982’s Silver Palate Cookbook had.
It was the outgrowth of a popular New York City eatery calledTthe Silver Palate, run by Sheila Lukins and Julie Rosso.
They helped introduce Americans to Mediterranean and European cuisines never before seen in this country.
Over the next 25 years their cookbook sold millions of copies and became a must have for many kitchens.
In 2007, Lukins and Rosso published a 25th anniversary edition of the cookbook, and that’s when I spoke with them. So here now, from 2007, Sheila Lukins and Julie Rosso..
Sheila Lukins died in 2009, at age 66.
