As you might expect from the once-world famous theatrical restaurant located a few steps from Broadway and across the street from Shubert Alley, this cookbook’s recipes are all glamorous and exotic-sounding, with lots of name-dropped recipes named after actors from the 1940s and 1950s. The cookbook also has unusual chapters, such as the After Theatre or Television Supper Dishes, the Menus for Quick Dinners before the Theatre, and recipes for the Outdoors and Barbecue. There’s also a chapter on wine and beverages with 1940s and 1950s cocktail recipes. AND the original Sardi’s prices are here. (Veal Cutlet Viennoise was $3.25. Ragout of Spring Lamb was $2.15.) Great cookbook!
