Book Description

July 10, 2012
Street food has redefined the landscape of American restaurants, and Skillet Street Food is considered to be one of the top gourmet food trucks in the nation. Armed with a shiny Airstream trailer and a devoted lunch crowd, it has helped turn the food truck trend into a lasting movement. Raising the bar from tacos and hot dogs to truly gourmet bistro fare, such as poutine and deconstructed corned beef hash, chef Josh Henderson has created an empire out of his simple dream: to feed people delicious and satisfying food on the street when they need it. The Skillet Cookbook features favorite recipes from the four main courses prepared every day in the city: breakfast, lunch, dinner, and dessert. Filled with stories and recipes, Henderson reveals everything from how to make the legendary Skillet burger to the business of running a street-food truck.

Sarah Jurado's gorgeous, intimate photographs capture a journalistic glimpse in the day--and the life--of Skillet, from the process of making the food to the grainy contrast of the urban backdrop.

Editorial Reviews

Review

"From its mobile Airstream trailer to its new brick-and-mortar home, Skillet serves up comfort-food hits (burgers and waffles and bacon jam, oh my!), which chef Josh Henderson now shares in this collection of recipes. Breakfast, lunch, dinner and dessert are all on the menu, including the sweet cinnamon brioche French toast, the savory crab cake po’boy with lemon aioli and the sinful Skillet poutine."
Seattle Magazine

"...filled with favorite recipes from both truck and diner, and beautiful photos by Sarah Jurado. Henderson also weaves in his take on food safety laws, food quality in general, and the story of launching his high-end food truck in the days before everyone was obsessed with high-end food trucks. My biggest surprise as I flipped through the pages was how much thought and preparation go into these recipes, since the end result never feels overly complicated." 
Seattle Metropolitan's Nosh Pit blog

"This isn't just hot dogs and bistro fare: it comes from a chef who has created an empire out of his dream to feed people satisfying food on the street when they need it, and packs recipes with photos, stories, and truck classics. From Cauliflower Scramble to Roasted Duck Legs, this is packed with easy dishes anyone can do from home, and is a top pick for any looking to produce gourmet fare in a small kitchen space."
The Midwest Book Review

5.0 out of 5 stars Love this cookbook! July 23, 2012
By ZB
Format:Paperback
I love this cookbook, the style of writing, the recipes and the overall feeling. I think it's great to get the story of the company and how skillet was built so to speak. Sometimes cookbooks can be pretty corporate feeling and this one has some soul....along with many recipes I want to get cooking! Cheers to a job well done and something different than the norm.

5.0 out of 5 stars Comfort Food with a Twist! July 25, 2012
Format:Paperback
This cookbook is a treasure! As a huge fan of both the Skillet diner and food truck, I was ecstatic to see that the cookbook gives recipes for some of my favorite Skillet dishes! It also incorporates exciting new recipes that give comfort food a contemporary twist. This cookbook not only gives great meal ideas, it also provides an exciting look at the edgy, forward-thinking food culture of the Pacific Northwest. I definitely recommend adding it to your collection.

1.0 out of 5 stars Pre-ordered before publishing date. Never again. July 17, 2012
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
I have well over a thousand cookbooks, and this one is possibly the worst waste of twenty bucks I've ever ordered. It's more like a brag session than a cookbook, and there's not much to btag about. At one point the author talks about being close to going out of business until he started selling bacon jam, which is what sustains him. That being the case, why would anyone want to read about the part of his business at which he failed? To add insult to injury, rather than sharing the recipe for the bacon jam, he tells you where to go to buy it from him. Not to worry. I have my own recipe for bacon jam, and this book went to the curb with the rest of the trash.
