The Waldorf-Astoria has been world renowned for more than a century as a destination for heads of state, businessmen, and discriminatin tourists.

The Art Deco landmark boasts a grand ballroom, four bars, and 1,250 rooms, but the jewels in its crown are the hotel's three restaurants and exceptional room service, which serve more than one million meals a year with culinary and creative distinction twenty-four hours a day.

The Waldorf-Astoria Cookbook features:

• More than 120 recipes, from breakfast to lunch and dinner
• Classic recipes for such signature dishes as the Waldorf Salad are presented with fascinating historical sidebars chronicling the hotel's hundred-year history
• Stunning photography showcases dishes from the very simple to the most extravagantly elegant

The Waldorf-Astoria Cookbook opens the doors to the hotel's kitchens, where a team of seven chefs de cuisine, ten sous-chefs, and 1110 cooks, all led by John Doherty, the Executive Chef at the Waldorf for the past twenty years, serve the finest meals in three distinctly different styles, from classic steakhouse fare at the Bull and Bear, to the progressive American menu at Oscar's, to the hotel's signature restaurant, Peacock Alley.

With recipes for every skill level and every palate, The Waldorf-Astoria Cookbook is a dream come true!
