David Rosengarten is the host of Taste and the author of the bestselling Dean & DeLuca Cookbook.

"Not since the days of Julia Child, Simone Beck, and M.F.K. Fisher has there been such an erudite yet joyously readable cookbook,  said Booklist. The New York Times  called it "one of the most informative and inviting cookbooks to come along in some time.

Rosengarten is a contributing editor to Gourmet magazine, where he writes a monthly column on New York restaurants. He has appeared in almost five hundred shows of Taste, which broke the Food Network's viewing record last summer. Taste  was one of four finalists for the James Beard Foundation's Best National TV Cooking Show Award--along with Julia Child, Jacques Pépin, and Martha Stewart.
