Cooking With the Firehouse Chef [Mass Market Paperback]

Keith Young (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: June 7, 2005

Now in paperback: the food that fuels the FDNY-from a firefighter who is also an award-winning chef.

Shopping, preparing food, and eating together builds a unique camaraderie among firefighters-and provides a chance to blow off some steam when not saving lives. Now, trained chef and firefighter Keith Young takes that ritual to a whole new level. Bringing his culinary expertise to the firehouse, he has created recipes that satisfy the hunger in these everyday heroes-without scrimping on taste. His award-winning dishes have made meals at FDNY Ladder-156 in Brooklyn an event in themselves, and now readers can recreate the experience in their own homes.

Firehouse Chef Keith Young puts together a fantastic cookbook. This cookbook is packed with delicious recipes, some of my favorites have been the Garlic Bread, Homemade Hummus, Pulled Pork with Jack and Coke BBQ Sauce. Honestly this book really combines the best elements of a hometown cookbook with stories, anecdotes, and pictures of the New York Firefighters along with some of the recipes that have gone over very well with the men who so often fight for our lives.

I love how this book is laid out, distinct sections on appetizers, side dishes, main dishes, each recipe has its own page, so they are easy to read. The recipes are easy to follow, and don't leave you trying to interpret difficult instructions. I would highly recommend this book to anyone trying to broaden out their cooking repitoire, or if you have a special place in your heart for the New York Firefighters.
