Editorial Review:
The history of Chicago's Berghoff Restaurant spanned three generations and 107 years. It was one of America's oldest family-owned restaurants. To commemorate such a rich culinary history, Carlyn Berghoff and her mother, Jan Berghoff, collected 150 of the restaurant's most popular recipes, including classics such as Creamed Spinach, Berghoff Rye Bread, and Wiener Schnitzel. They paired them up with more contemporary offerings such as the Shrimp Martini, Grilled Vegetables with Red Pepper Aïoli, and Brie and Raspberry Grilled Cheese Sandwiches to create The Berghoff Family Cookbook: From Our Table to Yours, Celebrating a Century of Entertaining.
· Recipes are presented alongside tempting four-color photographs and informative sidebars that offer tips on dressing salads, serving soups, pairing culinary flavors, and more. The book's introductory narrative tells the Berghoff family's story and introduces the next generation of the Berghoff legacy.
Fourth-generation entrepreneur Carlyn Berghoff operates her own catering company, Artistic Events, out of the famous Chicago building at 17 West Adams. Carlyn also has opened 17/West at the Berghoff, more casual fare is still offered at the downstairs Café, and the Berghoff Café still operates out of locations at O'Hare International and Midway airports.

The Berghoff Family Cookbook: From Our Table to Yours, Celebrating a Century of Entertaining
Although the authors added some non-authentic recipes, the originals which are included are spot on. Try the creamed spinach - follow exactly. Lovely!

I bought it as a gift for my sisters birthday who in turn also gave it to me as a gift for christmas in December 2007. Excellent recipes and nostalgia.

I too grew up with the Berghoff Restaurant. Trips with my Dad on business often led to lunch there. I was VERY disappointed in the book. I wanted a walk down memory lane. The first part of the text did that, but the old favorite recipies just petered out too fast. I have my own catering co. in Ca. and have for 20 years. Just what I didn't want was HER catering book. I wanted to celebrate "The Berghoff" . Just because she is a Berghoff doean't mean the cookbook was about "The Berghoff". Should ... Read More

Was one of my favorite restaurants and I was surprised that the book had all my favorite recipes and more. Great book - better than I had imagined and full of wonderful German recipes and the addition of new ones from the catering business. Explained things better than most books. All around great buy.

I just had to update some of you. The Berghoff Restaurant has reopened under the name '17 West at the Berghoff'. It is run by Carolyn Berghoff in the same location. I have been there twice. Much of it is the same. There are some things that have been 'modernized' if you will. But the ambience is the same. The waiters are young college kids. That is probably the biggest change. I heard that the name will return to Berghoff but not sure when.
I haven't tried the recipes in this book yet but ... Read More
