Friend of ours son and his wife (they met at Savoy in the village many moons ago...) opened a resto on Flatbush Ave in Brooklyn couple of years ago which promptly blew up...in a good sense.

Rave reviews NYT, NY Magazine, Zagat, Yelp etc etc and the kid's never looked back. Opened Brooklyn Larder...high end deli, just moved the mothership a few doors away and are starting a 2nd resto in the old space....

Anyway, the book is out...I'd post an image of the cover but the site or my laptop won't let me.

If I ever buy another cookbook my wife will throw me and the book out the door. Individual recipes are fine but we have an entire bookcase full of books plus 3 binders full of recipes. I'll never live to try most of them.

Visit Omnivore Books and you will find one you can't resist. Trust me.

I've put my husband on notice as well. We, too, have a full bookcase with lots of overflow! It's worth it, however, when he stands at the stove and starts to create!

MIke there is always a market for cookbooks. I'm just overburdened with them.

I love flipping through cookbooks but similar to you, MikeR, my favorite recipes are the ones my mom has written down on recipe cards. Seeing her distinctive handwriting makes me smile.
