Book Overview
Home is "everything you could hope for in a quintessentially cozy Greenwich Village restaurant" "(Food & Wine)." With its "surprisingly fresh interpretations of Middle American dishes" "(Christian Science Monitor), " this "dreamy little all-American place" "(New York)" is, in fact, a home away from home. New Yorkers line up outside for meals that have the power to rekindle food memories from childhood. Of course, with the deft hand of chef David Page, they now taste rather grown up. Tater Tots become cornmeal-crusted garlic potato cakes; picnic coleslaw made with celery and celery root accompanies spiced pork chops; blue cheese and apple transform a grilled cheese sandwich; and the ketchup is always homemade. In this unabashed ode to American home cooking, you'll also find recipes for scalloped potatoes, macaroni and cheese, roast chicken, homemade pickles, chocolate pudding, and cookies "that would make anyone's front porch a neighborhood Mecca" "(Gourmet)."

The best cookbook I have seen in YEARS!!!
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 21 years ago
Home was my favorite restaurant when I lived in Manhattan--I was one of their earliest customers. I recently stumbled across this book, and was so pleasantly surprised to find recipes for some of the greatest dishes I have ever had: excellent simple roasted chicken, cumin crusted pork chops, lemony blueberry muffins--so many good things to eat!. I have made at least 10 things from this book--each better than the last, and none of them too difficult. And the desserts! The chocolate pudding is TO DIE FOR!!! It alone is worth the price of admission if you ask me (or my newly addicted friend, Harry). And I think my whole family agreed that the apple pie from Home was the hit of our Thanksgiving this year, with the honey pumpkin coming in a close second. These recipes are just fabulous.Further, this book is also a plain old good read. Brings back childhood memories of learning the ropes from my mother and grandmother and makes me want to get in the kitchen and start cooking! This book would be a great gift for anyone who loves to cook and who has love and respect for doing things right in the kitchen.

My wife and I both enjoy cooking a lot and we use a wide range of recipe sources, including cook books. The reason we so enjoyed this one is that it is more than a cook book, it's a good read too. Apart from the fact that the recipes do work - we've tried many of them and they're delicious. On a minor scale, Jane particularly likes it because it's a perfect size for our perspex cook book holder, unlike many others which are too big and make it difficult to read the recipes.
Feeling at Home

This book is a great compilation of recipes, pictures, and many many memories. Not only did this couple bring together both of their families, but they bring the readers into their family as well. This cookbook is not a traditional cookbook, this book is filled with recipes that have been in the family and recipes made up by the couple. In addition, their own family photos serve as enterainment. This book is great. There is nothing like good ol' home cookin'. It makes me feel right at home!
Finally! A REAL American Cookbook!

This is quite possibly the best cookbook I have ever used. While cooking some of the recipes I felt like I was alongside the authors in my own kitchen. The humble simplicity of the recipes has made for hours of enjoyment in both reading the text and trying the recipes. I won't be eating out for a while!!
You can go Home again....and again!

David Page and Barbara Shinn's book Recipes from Home is a wonderful culinary journey that takes the reader from the author's childhood memories in the Midwest through their time spent in California and now New York's Long Island. They share family recipes as well as many innovative translations of American Classics. I tried their Skillet Fried Chicken, Macaroni and Cheese, and Chocolate Pudding and wowed my family and guests. While eating this fabulous meal we all perused the beautiful family photograghs scattered throughout the book. We love this book! Having myself grown up in Indiana, lived in California, and now on the East Coast, it is a pleasure to find a book that not only is an ode to the Midwest, California and New England, three of our most cherished culinary regions, but also provides a personnel glimpse into the author's lives.
