Hello,
I just want to say this is a very good cookbook! Im not a Grown Up but I can cook with this book.

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.

This a Great!!! Book. I saw this guy on the Wayne Brady show and went out and purchased his book. The recipes are excellent, Its a must have for everyone. There is a touch of everything in there from BBQ-ing to hangin around enjoying some hummus. Get a copy now!!!

I laughed, I cried, I cooked, I ate.

The cookbook is great. My husband and I have cooked many things from this cookbook but are favorite is still the meatballs. We cook them for every party. They are the best.

This book is GREAT! I'm ordering it for everyone on my Christmas list. I think it's great that 25% of the net proceeds are going to benefit the families of members who have died in non line of duty as active members of the FDNY. How wonderful it would be if we can all help to raise One Million dollars for this cause!

I have met and tasted Keith's cooking way before he became such a success as a Firehouse Chef.
His cooking was excellent then, and without question, his cooking has excelled since then.
This book is a must, for your own "firehouse".
(BELL) Come and get it! Its Chow Time!

Award-winning chef Keith Young presents recipes that feed firefighters of New York, in Cooking With The Firehouse Chef. From Garlic Bread with Gorgonzola Cream Sauce; Butternut Bisque; Steak Salad; and Parmesan-Crusted Pork Chops; to Pan-Seared Tuna; Broccoli and Corn Succotash; Grandma's Irish Soda Bread; and John Sineno's Famous No-Bake Rice Pudding, easily prepared dishes with expressive taste fill the pages of this working man's recipe collection, which is embellished with black-and-white photographs and narrative asides concerning the firefighters who daily dedicate their lives to their home city's protection.

This cookbook is meant for just about anyone. Keith makes it simple for the average guy (or gal) to cook, while sharing wonderful, poignant stories about life in the firehouse. I recommend the meatballs!

Keith knows food. This unique collection of recipes will whet any palate. Tested by firefighters, family, and friends, you can share in a soupcon of stories and flavors. Young presents in a wide-variety of "down-to-earth" comfort food, as well as sophisticated dishes...all with a special flair. Cook on!
