Dining In Grand Style

In celebration of the 10th anniversary of the Hilton Food Research Centre, its director has assembled this collection of healthy recipes chosen from the menus of Hilton International hotels around the world. The Food Research Centre in New York is Hilton International's culinary think-tank and serves as the fulcrum for the food activities of all Hilton International hotels. It challenged Hilton International's chefs to contribute their best recipes. This selection of recipes is the result of 50,000 miles of travel - devoted to testing, writing and photographing some of the finest recipes from the Americas, Europe, the Far East and Australia. All the recipes chosen here were tried at the Food Research Centre to ensure that the same dish could be successfully repeated by the home cook without pitfalls or compromise. Places as diverse as New York, Istanbul, Corfu and Adelaide are represented by their specialties. New York's American Harvest recreated its traditional Shaker lemon pie and Tokyo's Imari Restaurant contributed the lobster ravioli with sea urchin sauce.
