Book Report: Juicy Jumpsuits, Britney Spears, and Saveur (Classics, Says Us)

We have to admit it. We’ve been accused of sometimes (see: always) valuing form over function. That bejeweled iPhone case, those Alexander Wang black matte pool toys that deflated instantly, and basically, all of our shoes, which only “function” to ensure that we’ll be taking cabs all night.

But, as we grow up, we’re learning that function can be important. Sometimes you just need something that you know is going to work. That’s why we’re thrilled to have discovered Saveur’s The New Classics. From a food publication that’s been creating relevant and interesting food content for over twenty years, The New Classics rounds up fantastic recipes with worldwide influences for a new generation of hungry home cooks. Think The Joy of Cooking for a new era. From easy Spanish soups to complicated French desserts, the book is a one stop shop for easy inspiration, and for answers to all of our cooking queries. So whether you want to throw it on the shelf next to Mastering the Art of French Cooking or if, like us, you keep it on your iPad, ready for a quick CTRL + F to find any recipe you may seek, The New Classics might be your new must-own.

Don’t get us wrong, we’ve got mad love for The Joy of Cooking, but we also know that the classics sometimes need to be updated and redefined. And Saveur’s The New Classics feels a little more us.

So with Saveur’s help, here’s our classic Saturday night dinner party menu:
