" Part haute cuisine, part comfort food , dinners that chefs whip up for their kitchen- and waitstaffs before the evening's guests pile in serve as an object lesson in thoughtful meal planning ." --Booklist "Before restaurant chefs cook for you, we cook for ourselves. What we prepare for our fellow chefs and staff is every bit as important to us as what we make for guests when the dinner service starts. With this wonderful book devoted to the meals he makes for his own restaurant family, Michael Romano gives us an intimate look at the dishes that are closest to his heart : food that is personal, generous, and nurturing. Family Table isn¹t just a source of delicious dishes. It¹s a beautiful reminder of what cooking and eating are all about ." --Thomas Keller "Danny Meyer, Michael Romano, and the kitchen team at Union Square Hospitality are redefining hospitality daily at their roster of superior restaurants. This behind-the-scenes look at Michael's genius operation offers the dishes you'll never experience on the restaurant floor. It's the food the chefs cook for each other, which of course we all want to eat too!" --Mario Batali "I always say to my team, 'Cook the staff meal with the same care as if you were going to serve it to your mother.' The stories and recipes in this book really encapsulate the passion that chefs should show while preparing their 'family's' meals." --Daniel Boulud "Family Table gets the mouth watering at first read: Here are recipes that are approachable but blessed with little twists and turns to pique the palate.
