Customer Reviews

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.

I will admit that I've only made the butternut squash with balsamic vinegar and panko topping, but wow, was it good. I feel a little silly admitting that I didn't know you could eat butternut squash seeds, but they really added to the topping. And the whole thing was a pretty healthy side for a nice piece of fish. I have my eye on several other vegetable recipes and some of the desserts. The main entrees look a little more difficult than the other recipes in the book, but I'll probably get around to trying those, too. Beautiful pictures, and a beautiful book.
