Editorial Reviews

Review

I trust Gail's taste when it comes to chefs and food, and I have for many years. She is a beautiful force in the culinary world, and has the ability to translate her expertise so you can truly learn from her.―Drew Barrymore, actress and director

Gail has truly been inspired by her mother's cooking and her encounters with some of the greatest American chefs. She has mastered a knowledge of tradition and the art of casual cuisine shared among family and friends and is a well-travelled cook who combines her past and present culinary adventures. Driven by her desire to cook in a personal way, Gail's book brings you the dishes she fell in love with. BRINGING IT HOME is a wealth of know-how for any avid home cook.―Daniel Boulud, chef/owner, the Dinex Group

If there's a gal who's game for anything, it's Gail. She's a woman of exploration and adventure. Born and bred to be a lover of great food, Gail is a force to be reckoned with. Whether she's reading, writing, critiquing, or honing worldly inspiration hands-on, her mind (and appetite) is a sponge for every delicious bite along the way. A front row seat to a simple snack or insane meal cooked by this wonder woman? We are in great hands.―Christina Tosi, founder, CEO, and chef, Milk Bar

The recipes look so good that they might kind of compete for your attention as to what you might want to try first, but what's also special about Gail's book is that she's helping to teach how to be a great instinctual chef even beyond the recipes. She shares all sorts of techniques and kitchen secrets to arm you for whatever you decide to make.―Bravotv.com

Most people know Gail Simmons from her longtime gig as one of the judges on Top Chef, but behind the tough-minded critic lies an avid home cook-and a born teacher. Along with food writer (and frequent Epi contributor) Mindy Fox, she's crafted a super-approachable slew of recipes that have surprise insights tucked away.―Epicurious

The book is fantastic. Absolutely great service from the seller. Original shipment got lost in the USPS maze, but the seller properly mailed another copy. Received it in a matter of days. We didn’t even had to follow up, the seller did. Definitely recommend the book.

Wonderful collection of original recipes for the adventurous cook!

Although the author published some recipes in her delightful "Talking With My Mouth Full" (2012), this is her first full cookbook. It's chock full of highly original recipes. For every recipe, she provides a lengthy headnote telling us where she first encountered the dish, or the idea for the dish, and how she came to develop the recipe. Since I've watched every "Top Chef" episode many times while cooking, it was fun to read about dishes inspired by the show or its locations: Singapore, for example. She provides "Kitchen Wisdom," "Snippets," and "Chef Tech" tips for ingredients and technique for nearly every recipe. And, although she uses many ingredients that might not already be in our pantries; for example, dried tart cherries, z'atar, and pomegranate molasses, the ingredients she calls for are easy to find online and in many grocery stores, and she almost always provides ideas for sourcing (including a "Sources" chapter) and substitutions. I love that she was permitted to provide long ingredient lists. These are not at all daunting: they might simply be spices or baking ingredients readily at hand. I also love that most of the recipes go on for several pages, which I love: when cookbook authors are forced to provide one-page recipes, a lot goes missing. For every dish, in addition to the informative headnotes, she provides very thorough instructions, telling us precisely how she wants us to make it. Thank you! My Kindle version is thoroughly clickable, including embedded recipes, and every dish has at least one has a color photo. Home cooks with or without Jewish heritage will want to try her Grandmother's chicken soup, her Mom's chopped liver, and Gail's versions of beef brisket and latke Reubens. I've bookmarked her famous Bloody Mary Eggs, Eggs in Crispy Potato Skins, and I'm making her Spaghetti Pie (the cover photograph) tonight!

If I can make something delicious, anyone can...

This book inspired me to bake . . . and I haven't baked a cake since 7th-grade home economics class. Somehow, it turned out so frigging good that I just ordered SIX more books to give to friends as holiday gifts.

My wife collects cookbooks, whereas I simply leaf through them. When I stumbled across the Black Licorice Chocolate Bundt Cake I started salivating. It seemed easy enough that I figured I would give it a shot . . . turns out, the recipe was air tight and much to my Thanksgiving guests' surprise, I nailed it.

I could recommend this book because it's beautiful, or because the unique recipes all have a cool personal story behind them, or because I was lucky enough to meet Gail a few years back (she was judging the "Burger Bash" at the South Beach Wine & Food Festival) and she remains the sweetest and most gracious food personality I've come across.

But no, the real reason I am writing my third Amazon review ever is that while I would not dare attempt 90% of the recipes in my wife's collection, I am guessing that just about everyone would find Bringing It Home accessible . . . and ya know, actually cook from a cookbook!

10 stars for honorable reviewing..and the Spaghetti Pie rocks!

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on November 16, 2017

Verified Purchase

I wrote my first review almost a month ago, the day after the book, which I had pre-ordered, was released. As I write this, I'm still the only Amazon reviewer. I review cookbooks and cooking memoirs all the time, and the fact that there are no other reviews is rare, extremely rare: it tells me that, unlike what one suspects other authors/publishers may have done, neither our beloved Gail nor her publishers have recruited even a single friend/family/employee reviewer to post a favorable review. WOW. Hence my "10 stars for honorable reviewing." And, by the way, the Spaghetti Pie is phenomenal! For my first version, I omitted the sausage in order to attempt a vegetarian version. This turned out a little dry, but was still delicious: in future, this will be easily cured with some tomato sauce on the side. Then I made it for family visiting for the holidays, WITH sausage. It was a huge hit with the grandchildren (the 9-year-old picked out his broccoli but his Dad scooped it up). The presentation (see it on the book's cover photo) of the Spaghetti Pie (baked in a springform pan) is brilliant!

This is an accessible, beautiful book that the whole family can enjoy. Whether you are a beginner cook - you want to learn how to use kitchen tools, how to season properly and how to put a meal together - or you are an accomplished home cook, this book has something for everyone. Beautifully shot and a fascinating read. Gail takes us on her food adventures around the world and brings it home for us all in Bringing it Home.

What an amazing book to add to any home cook or professional cooks library. It is full of accessible recipes, beautiful photography and interesting stories of Gail's lifelong adventures of travel and eating. I love being able to hear about what inspired each dish. The recipes are straight forward, well tested and ALL delicious! I look forward to seeing what she comes up with next.

The recipes are ok. It is a nice book to read. I appreciate some of the tips, but they are nothing new, either. An OK cookbook. I bought the kindle version.

The minute I flipped through this book I knew I would enjoy using it to plan meals. The recipes are original and seem to be full of flavour. I have only tried a couple so far, but I am sure they won't disappoint. It also pleases me to see a Canadian achieve this level of success.
