He holds the Order of the Mérite Agricole from the French government and is an inductee of California’s Vintners’ Hall of Fame."Bursting with wisdom from every page…Even if it only contained her influential manifesto on salting meats, <em>The Zuni Cafe Cookbook</em> would still be name-checked by countless working cooks as the one book they’d save from a burning kitchen."
- Kevin Pang - AV Club,
"This year's best cookbook—the one people are still likely to be talking about, and cooking from, 20 years down the line.... Just opening this book up is like plunking down the needle on one of those old LP's that tells you, on first listen, that you've made a friend you're going to keep for the rest of your life."
- New York Times,
"This marriage of seasoned European sensibility and California café culture is the best of both worlds, and it's the reason why you should rush out and buy this book."
- Christopher Kimball - Cook's Illustrated,
"Judy Rodgers was so true to herself with this book.—The way she wrote about salt paved the way for me to write about salt."
- Samin Nosrat - New York Times,
"Better than the cuisine, though, is the writing—and how many restaurant cookbooks can you say that about? Even the recipes are a joy to read."
- Russ Parsons - Los Angeles Times,
"Perhaps more valuable than anything else in Judy Rodgers' impressive <em>The Zuni Café Cookbook</em> is the wisdom of her detailed writings, present in recipes from a simple crostini to an elaborate multi-step braise. Rodgers' understated sensibilities, borne of many years of cooking, illuminate the book's creative composition and leave the reader with not just a great set of recipes, but with an education, too."
- Fine Cooking,
"Authenticity, roots, craft; recipes deft as short stories. If you're buying only one, this is it."
- Newsweek,
"<em>The Zuni Café Cookbook</em> was the best reviewed cookbook in 2002. The critics love Rodgers's writing, some claiming that the introductory section alone should be required reading for anyone who ever wants to cook....Rodgers has helped define California cuisine, and this cookbook captures it well."
