In The Berghoff Family Cookbook,
the fourth generation of Chicago's Berghoff clan presents traditional
favorites from the city's famed Berghoff Restaurant alongside
contemporary culinary creations.
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 Aoli, 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

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.
