Bon Appetit writer Ashley Mason writes "It's not every day you flip open a 35-year-old cookbook, The Silver Palate Cookbook is the exception. Published in 1982 by Manhattan-based duo Sheila Lukins and Julee Rosso, its recipes mix Spanish, Mediterranean, and Asian flavors in a time when everyone was obsessed with French cooking techniques. Lukins and Rosso introduced their readers to arugula, pancetta, and pesto way before it was cool. ...Regardless of how old (or not yet born) you were (when) it came out, it's one of the most worn and well-loved cookbooks our shelves."
