a real cookbook from a great chef,
Many chef’s cookbooks are too fussy or esoteric to ever serve as an actual everyday inspiration in the kitchen. Not this one. Yes, it’s beautiful enough to be a gift or to sit atop your coffee table, but “Home Cooking with Jean-Georges” really does seem like a guide to what a world-class chef cooks for his own family. The recipes I’ve tried are absolutely delicious, and most of them are absolutely doable on an average weeknight. Kudos to Jean-Georges for bringing the magic of his restaurant kitchen into everyone’s home.

|An Accessible Cookbook by a High End Chef,
This cookbook is beautiful, and the few recipes I have cooked from it so far have been delicious and surprisingly easy to prepare. Even though Vongerichten is a big name chef, these recipes really are geared toward the home cook – the ingredients are relatively easy to track down, and the preparations, for the most part, are not especially complicated. The book’s recipes are also pretty unique, so it is worth having even if you already own lots of cookbooks. If you tend to shop at farmers’ markets or get produce from a CSA farm, you will find this especially useful, as it contains plenty of recipes for vegetables. The quinoa with spinach, mushrooms, and goat cheese is very quick and very tasty.

|Simple yet Elegant,
I am an avid cookbook collector and I tend to read them like novels. Jean-Georges has so much to share with the culinary world with this latest contribution. The recipes are clear and easy to follow. Every one I have tried so far has been excellent. There are also anecdotes into his life that are charming.
