Synopsis

"A HIGHLY Collectible Out-Of-Print Classic - 1972, FIRST Edition 340 pages full of wonderful illustrations and photos with sample menus from famous dinners in the past. Includes a brief history of the hotel and lots of wonderful facts about this famous hotel's amazing kitchen. (The Plaza had an acre of kitchen space!) From the liner notes: "Perhaps the secret of the Plaza's pull upon our imagination is the elegance that has been a real and living part of her since the day she opened in 1907. The Plaza is style--not the kind you can get from well-appointed decorations or setting alone--but a constant attention to perfection--the multitudes of little unhurried things that lift life above the ordinary. The Plaza makes us remember what things were like in a world that had time for quality." Recipes vary from the simple and practical classic French dressing to the almost forgotten turtle soup. Photos illustrate wonderful table settings and food presentations. The photos provide a wonderful reference for presentations and uses for old hotel china and silver."
