Bobby Flay's From My Kitchen to Your Table

By Joan Schwartz and Bobby Flay

Book Overview

You've seen him on The Food Network, grillin' and chillin'. And on Lifetime's The Main Ingredient, demystifying cooking. And if you're lucky, you've eaten in one of Bobby Flay's three New York city restaurants. Now Bobby's using his formidable culinary talents to turn entertaining on its ear, sharing the secrets of his kitchen and making them accessible to you. "Why make a meal that you can't enjoy with everyone else?" asks Bobby. "Let me introduce you to food that is fun " And fun it is. Bobby's party dishes are a bold and fragrant mix. Nothing is designed specifically to be an appetizer or a main course--instead, everything is heaped in large bowls or arranged on oversized platters and set out on the table at the same time. To help you in the kitchen, recipes are organized according to where the dish is prepared or how it is served ("From the Oven," "Cool Platters"), with easy-to-find ingredients and simple-to-follow instructions. Many of the dishes or their components can be made ahead of time.

Great recipes

I bought this book for my daughter for her birthday cause she's such a huge fan of Bobby Flay. She loves it and she's using us as guinea pigs. It was one of her favorite gifts. Great recipes!

WOW -- Another Treasure Chest

Once again, Bobby Flay has produced another great book capturing his unique recipes. Utilizing ingredients that can be found at any major grocer, dishes are created with a pallette pleasing result. This book is a must if you enjoy Bobby Flay's cooking. I highly recommend this for those that can handle going where no other tongue has gone before!

Fun and Frustrating

The recipes in this book can be quite exciting but really some experience in the kitchen is needed along with great patience. The typeset of the book makes it difficult to read and the quantities are not consistant. Sometimes you have too much stuff other times too little and you have to add ingredients. This is the same with his previous book. It seems as though better testing of the recipes and better proofing is badly needed. That being said the book is full of exciting things to serve and as is his style the flavors are well pronounced. If you can get hold of the chili powders needed this book is a lot of fun. As in the previous book many of the terrific relishes and sauces can be served on other dishes. Scores 7 out of 10 because the recipes are worth it.
