150 traditional favorites from Chicago’s famed Berghoff Restaurant alongside contemporary culinary creations, plus a guide to entertaining at home.

With The Berghoff Family Cookbook, fans of the beloved restaurant can now make Berghoff classics at home, including the famous Berghoff Creamed Spinach, German Potato Salad, Wiener Schnitzel, Sauerbraten, Apple Strudel, Black Forest Cake, and many more treasured and—until now—secret recipes from the Berghoff’s celebrated kitchens.

More than a collection of wonderful recipes, The Berghoff Family Cookbook is a piece of Chicago history and an essential guide for cooking and party planning. What started as a small saloon in 1898 quickly became a Chicago dining institution when Prohibition prompted founder Herman Joseph Berghoff to start serving meals to stay in business. When Prohibtion ended in 1933, the Berghoff Restaurant was the first Chicago establishment to receive a liquor license, and it soon became famous for both its traditional German food and its Dortmunder beer. The Berghoff Family Cookbook offers a rare and personal glimpse into the history of a Chicago landmark, complete with full-color photographs of Berghoff’s no-nonsense waitstaff and legendary chefs, its iconic stained-glass windows and murals, the famous mahogany bar, and the chandeliers, as well as old menus and historical items never before seen by the public.

Jan and Carlyn Berghoff not only provide treasured memories about the restaurant, but they also offer their wealth of knowledge and experience on beer and food pairings, how to host a bourbon tasting, party planning, and tips for memorable and hassle-free gatherings. In addition, Carlyn Berghoff shares many of her favorite recipes from her successful catering company, including Shrimp Martinis, Pesto Cheesecake, Grilled Vegetable Wraps, Pan-Seared Tilapia with Tabasco Broth, and Almond-Pear Tartlets. The Berghoff Family Cookbook helps cooks everywhere create delicious food, special celebrations, and lasting traditions.

Title: Wonderful book would have been even better if it had more of the "old" Berghoff recipes.
Review: I'm not a cook. However I enjoyed this book so much that I bought one for a dear friend, who is a great cook, that grew up in the Chicago area. She also had the wonderful experience of dining at the Berghoff in her youth.I really enjoyed reading the history of the Berghoff and viewing the pictures in the Berghoff Family Cookbook. It reminded me of the many good times and delicious food that I enjoyed at the Berghoff during 1959-1972, when I lived in the Chicago area. Of all the delicious meals that I had at the Berghoff, the one I enjoyed most was in 1961 when Chicago Black Hawks' Coach Rudy Pilous was dining at the table next to ours. A few days later his team won the Stanley Cup for the 1960-61 season. (In those days the team's name was written as Chicago Black Hawks, rather than Chicago Blackhawks.)Here is looking forward to the first meal my friend cooks, using recipes from the Berghoff Family Cookbook!

Title: Beautiful trip down memory lane.
Review: Beautiful brand new book! This beautiful book is a trip down memory lane. My family has lived in Chicago since before the fire, so many generations of us have beautiful memories of Berghoff. We were devastated to learn it was closing. LOVED the biography and the recipes are priceless. As soon as the book arrived and I did a quick review, I immediately ordered one for my sister. I know she will enjoy it as much as I do. Can't wait to start experimenting with some of the recipes.

Title: Berghoff Cookbook
Review: If you ever visited Berghoff's Restaurant in Chicago, you know their creamed spinach is excellent. I bought the cookbook just for this recipe. But there are lots more in the book. I haven't tried any yet but they look pretty straightforward.

Title: Nostalgia, but disappointing as a German cookbook
Review: Nicely presented book with photos and a good history of the Berghoff family restaurant which I have visited in years past. It has changed during recent years. As a German restaurant in years past it was excellent. Just like visiting Germany and dining in older establishments with authentic German food. But, this book presents many recipes which are not traditionally German. If you are looking for an Authentic German cookbook, I would recommend "The NEW GERMAN COOKBOOK" which has excellent traditional recipes and some updated recipes. My copy is getting worn.

Title: Old Chicago Tradition
Review: The Berghoff was the restaurant of choice for generations of my family in Chicago. It was the place my father always took me when we went shopping downtown. This cook book is not only filled with menus and recipes, it contains lots of Chicago history and memories. If you are a Chicago native, it's a must have for your collection. If you are looking for a gift, send The Berghoff Family Cookbook: From Our Table to Yours, Celebrating a Century of Entertaining - it will please anyone who appreciates good food and wants to know more about our great city.
