Bromberg Bros. Blue Ribbon Cookbook: Better Home Cooking Review
I received this fantastic cookbook today and read it cover to cover. It is filled with recipes that are articulated in a way that makes it easy, yet would lead guests to proclaim your genuis. The Blue Ribbon Restaurant in SoHo, NYC is famous for it's late nights, delicious, interesting food and Chef sightings.
The recipes have stories, pictures and step by step instructions that are easily followed. At times when an ingredient or a technique is used in a surprising way, like brown and white sugar on frizzled leeks, or Matzoh flour for extra crispiness on fried chicken, there is always a story of why it makes a difference. The "make ahead" or "will hold on the counter" tips are super helpful.
For the everyday cook, there are plenty of recipes to keep your family happy and fed, with a little twist; like Cripsy Cornish Game Hens and Really Good Brisket For the adventurous cook, you can't go wrong; their famous Marrow Bones with Oxtail Marmalade recipe is included in the book. You can really knock your guests socks off with these simple but impressive dishes.
Besides the great recipes and the "blue ribbon wisdom" snippets (that give great tips) I think what I loved most of all was the humility and thankfulness the Bromberg brothers showed when incorporating the personal stories about the Chef's, cooks, family and friends that were there along the way.
If you love to cook, this one is for you. I can't wait to begin making some of these dishes. This will be one of my most used cookbooks.
I also can't wait for my next trip back to NYC, for another late night at The Blue Ribbon on Sullivan! It's a welcoming place where "dinner" at 2am feels like 10pm, the place is so respectfully lively.

Product Overview
When the first Blue Ribbon restaurant opened in 1992 in downtown Manhattan, it ushered in a new era in dining, one where reservations aren't taken and delicious food—dressed up or down—comes out of the same kitchen. On a menu suited to satisfy every craving, Herb Roasted Chicken with Lemon and Sage, a favorite with neighborhood regulars, shares equal billing with Beef Marrow Bones with Oxtail Marmalade, the late-night dish most often requested by the celebrity-chef crowd. After seventeen successful years, Bruce and Eric Bromberg, the brothers behind the now nine-restaurant Blue Ribbon phenomenon, share their secrets for exceptional American fare.
Bruce and Eric draw heavily on their childhood in suburban New Jersey as well as time spent cooking in France after college, translating these culinary influences into incredibly satisfying American home cooking that's a cut above in every way: Braised Beef Short Ribs with Succotash; a Blue Reuben sandwich made with chorizo, cheddar, and coleslaw; collard greens cooked quickly in browned butter; addictively crispy Northern Fried Chicken that gets its crunch from an ingenious yet simple matzoh-meal coating.
The brothers share insightful cooking tips in "Blue Ribbon Wisdom" boxes throughout the book. Learn when to use kosher salt versus regular table salt; how to make perfectly golden, crisp French fries at home; the secret behind truly creamy crème brûlée; even the neatest way possible to slice fresh corn kernels off the cob. From simple tricks of the trade to notes on improving cooking techniques, these invaluable insider hints can help home cooks elevate their everyday dishes.
Just as at their restaurants, Bromberg Bros. Blue Ribbon Cookbook covers all meals: snacks, appetizers, main courses, sides, desserts, breakfast, and sandwiches. This is the book to dip into no matter what time of day, no matter what you're in the mood for—whenever you want the very best home cooking possible.
