Join one of the world's greatest chefs in his most personal book yet, as
Jean-Georges Vongerichten shares his favorite casual recipes in Home
Cooking with Jean-Georges.
Though he helms a worldwide restaurant empire--with locations in New
York, Las Vegas, London, Paris, and Shanghai--Jean-Georges counts his
greatest joy in life as family first, then food. In Home Cooking with
Jean-Georges, he brings readers into his weekend home, where he cooks
simple, delicious dishes that leave him plenty of time to enjoy the
company of friends and loved ones.
A few years ago, Jean-Georges decided to give himself a gift that most
of us take for granted: two-day weekends. He and his wife, Marja, and
their family retreat to their country home in Waccabuc, New York. There,
the renowned chef produces the masterful, fresh flavors for which he is
known--but with little effort and few dishes to clean at the end. These
quick, seasonal, Vongerichten-family favorites include: Crab Toasts with
Sriracha Mayonnaise, Watermelon and Blue Cheese Salad, Herbed Sea Bass
and Potatoes in Broth, Lamb Chops with Smoked Chile Glaze and Warm Fava
Beans, Parmesan-Crusted Chicken, Fresh Corn Pudding Cake, Tarte Tatin,
and Buttermilk Pancakes with Warm Berry Syrup.
With 100 recipes and 100 color photographs--all taken at his country
house--Home Cooking with Jean-Georges will inspire home cooks with
fantastic accessible dishes to add to their repertoires.
