5.0 out of 5 stars A great cookbook, April 8, 2010

By 

Anonymous "booksandcookies" (Charleston, IL USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Simply Great Cookbook (Paperback)

This is a terrific and generous cookbook from the wonderful Muer restaurant tradition. Our family has dined at many of the Muer restaurants; for example, Charley's Crab in Grand Rapids, Michigan, Grand Councourse in Pittsburgh, Gandy Dancer in Ann Arbor, Michigan. Chuck Muer was a fabulous restaurateur and his and his wife's tragic deaths in a sailing accident during a major hurricane was, and remains, a great loss to those who shared their taste and enthusiasm for the kind of food and dining they and their staffs provided. This cookbook (and the second one, too) is a great cookbook but also a beloved legacy. If you have fond memories of dining at a Muer restaurant, you will be delighted to find many of the "classic" recipes here. If you have never dined in one of their restaurants when the Muers still owned/operated them, you will love the recipes that will be new to you. The recipes are just great, not too difficult, and easily accomplished by the home cook.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great recipes recreate the restaurant flavors., December 18, 2008

This review is from: Simply Great Cookbook (Paperback)

I worked a summer at Chuck Muers restaurant in St. Clair, Michigan. The River Crab. I guess I was one of the few people who didn't steal the recipe book when I left. I always wished I had copied down some of the great recipes. The House Bread and the Charlie's Chowder simply knock people over at potlucks. If you remember eating here years ago and no longer have access to the real thing you will enjoy this cookbook.

I still have fond memories of drinking coke from an old scallop bucket and eating yesterdays bread that went unused while scrubbing bags of oysters in the big steel sink.
