5.0 out of 5 stars Home cooked fine dining within reach - inspiring recipes without the intimidation factor
This cookbook by Thomas Kinch of Manresa fame (3 Michelin stars) is inspiring for those of us who enjoy producing an outside-the-box meal without a kitchen staff for backup. Designed and written for those who know their way around a kitchen but don't regard themselves as professionals, Kinch shares the personal favorites of his home kitchen. The recipes and the stories that accompany them are fun, informative and within the scope of experienced and even inexperienced (but ambitious) cooks. The reach is international in scale and by no means same-ol', same-ol'. I recommend it. Try the Baked Miso Eggplant - pretty amazing.
5.0 out of 5 stars Don't judge this book by it's cover! Great cookbook for the casual yet chic palette!
I love David Kinch's food, have been to his restaurant a few times, so had to at least try this book despite how ordinary and simple the cover looks. I was pleasantly surprised to find the recipes, pictures and instructions much more creative and sophisticated than what the cover seems. It's the epitome of California chic cuisine; sophisticated yet simple, casual and delicious ; ) I loved it so much, I bought 2 more for gifts. Thank you David!
5.0 out of 5 stars Good for beginners as well as experienced home cooks
At Home in the Kitchen: Simple Recipes from a Chef's Night Off is a cookbook for all experience levels. Kinch lays out the basic knowledge you need as well as some more advance techniques that will give a novice cook the courage to try more complex dishes. The basics include sauces you should know how to make, how to shuck an oyster, and so on.One of the highlight recipes in At Home in the Kitchen: Simple Recipes from a Chef's Night Off is how to correctly roast a chicken. Kinch's version gave me a perfectly cooked chicken with still-moist breast meat. I'll never roast a chicken any other way and the suggested variations open up a lot of options and give you ideas for more.The chicken with dried fruit was also a winner. Maybe a bit too sweet, but it was very good. It's simple, but I can see how you could add your own spin to this recipe.At Home in the Kitchen: Simple Recipes from a Chef's Night Off has recipes that use easy to find ingredients that you probably have in your kitchen. Highly recommended for cooks just starting out and looking to learn things and gain confidence through experienced home cooks.
4.0 out of 5 stars home entertaining, chef style
David Kinch knows his way around a professional kitchen. His restaurant Manresa won an impressive three Michelin stars. He was featured on PBS’s Mind of a Chef, and he’s won a James Beard award. This man knows great food.But he puts all that aside on the weekends. If you work in a restaurant, your weekend is Monday and Tuesday, and it’s on Tuesday nights that Kinch invites family and friends over to share in a homemade meal in his home. Called the Pink Palace, Kinch’s home is filled with art and books and a half-completed jigsaw puzzle and music. Lots and lots of music.Although in many ways, At Home in the Kitchen is a cookbook filled with recipes that have specific measurements for each ingredient and cooking times and temperatures, Kinch emphasizes that one of the best tools you can bring into the kitchen is simply your attention. These dishes aren’t overly fussy, just simple ingredients cooked well. But only you can say when the potatoes are cooked to perfection in your oven. You’re the one in charge of how caramelized your onions get. And as any home cook knows, you have to pay attention to the butter in the pan, because once it’s gone past brown to burnt, you have to start over.Each of these recipes also comes with a musical suggestion. So if you’re planning to prepare a bunch of small plates to set out for the guests as they arrive and pick out something to drink, you can keep in mind that the Roasted Red Pepper & Onion Salad with Mozzarella and Basil pairs well with Gene Pitney’s “A Town without Pity.” Or the Smoky Eggplant “Caviar” goes well with Patti Smith’s “Soul Kitchen.” Kinch’s Salmon Rillettes pairs with Patsy Cline’s “Three Cigarettes in an Ashtray,” and Ike & Tina Turner’s “I Love What You Do to Me” is perfect for the Savory Strawberry Biscuits.There are recipes for salads and soups, pastas and rice. And what relaxed California cookbook would be complete without a chapter of All-Day Eggs and 2 A.M. Dinners? Because sometimes you need a SAvory & Sweet Omelet Souffle (“There’s a Light” by Shirley Ann Lee or a slice of Toasted Baguette with Dark Chocolate, Olive Oil & Sea Salt (The Rolling Stones, “Worried about You”).Sprinkled liberally throughout the recipes are tips for perfecting techniques to help you make the most of your ingredients. There are asides on how to shuck oysters, how to poach eggs, how to make gnocchi. If there is something you need to know to help you cook with confidence and extra flavor, Kinch has included it.But when you ask him about his favorite recipe to make for guests, his answer comes quickly: Roast Chicken. Personally, it’s my favorite too, but before this I didn’t realize how well it paired with “Listen Here” by Eddie Harris.As you flip through At Home in the Kitchen, the recipes seem to go on and on. Fish and seafood, meats and vegetables, and of course, desserts and drinks. There is a Day-After Meyer Lemon Tart (“Hanging on the Telephone” by Blondie), a Negroni, Three Ways (“Prodigal Son” by the Rolling Stones), and even A Nice Cup of Coffee (“Teenage Kicks” by The Undertones) to round out the day spent with those you love most.The book is cowritten by Devin Fuller, who has cooked her way up the ranks at Manresa and has spent many a Tuesday at the Pink Palace. She was the one who made Kinch quantify his recipes, trying to make them as precise and repeatable as possible. I have never met either of these chefs, but I would not be surprised to find out that she was the one who worked to bring these Tuesday night family meals to life in these pages.I really loved flipping through the pages of At Home in the Kitchen. It’s obviously a cookbook—there are lots and lots of recipes and cooking techniques. But it also feels a little like you just get to hang out with cool people, watching a professionally trained chef make magic in the kitchen while he offers up tips about how to upgrade your usual grilled cheese sandwich or what kind of wine to cook with or how to build a cheese course.Honestly, I wish I could spend a Tuesday sitting in a quiet corner of Kinch’s Pink Palace, watching the cooking and the eating and the laughing, letting the music roll over me, just soaking it all in, maybe working on that jigsaw puzzle in between bites. It sounds enchanting. For now, reading this cookbook and trying out some of the recipes is the closest I can come. Especially since I know if I pull out a jigsaw puzzle, my cat will try to eat the pieces.A copy of At Home in the Kitchen was provided by Ten Speed Press for an unbiased review, with many thanks.
5.0 out of 5 stars Smart accessible recipes from a world class chef.
This is my favorite cookbook. I’ve picked up a few more from other chefs and they all bring their unique perspectives to the table, both literally and figuratively but this one by far is the best suited for a home cook.The recipes are smart without being unwieldy and use ingredients that are easily obtained. Every recipe is downright delicious and will make anyone you’re cooking for very very happy. If you want to impress a dinner date, this is a great way to do it.
3.0 out of 5 stars Good fir beginners
Not really exciting for home cooks who have experience cooking different types of foods… it’s better for beginners.
5.0 out of 5 stars Wish I could give more than 5 stars
How much do I love this cookbook? Well, so far I've purchased two copies for myself (kindle and hardback) and a dozen for food-loving friends. I've admired David's food since my first meal at Sen Sovi, decades ago, right up to a perfect pizza at Mentone a few weeks ago. Over the years I've wheedled a few recipes and technique tips out of him after long, fabulous meals at Manresa and have successfully made a few of the simpler dishes from the gorgeous Manresa Cookbook. But this is the book I've been hoping for for years. One of the previous reviewers described it as a book infused with joy and I heartily agree. His reverence for beautiful ingredients lovingly cooked for friends shines throughout the text. I just wish there were more than 5 stars to give.
