This book gives you ALL the recipes to the Hell's Kitchen restaurant. It also gives you a glimpse into the mastermind Mitch Omer. He is crazy amazing, passionate about food and his family. Every recipe is in here. The peanut butter, lemon ricotta pancakes, sausage bread. I was very impressed with the basic building blocks to the easy to understand recipe format. I highly reccommend this book. It didn't seem like a cookbook at all. I am an Alton Brown fan, but this book takes it one step up in the zany cook category. A good gift idea for those that have been to the restaurant in Mpls or Duluth.
The recipes have yielded excellent results, and the interspersed story of Omer's life thus far makes for an excellent read that surpasses a simple cookbook. There are a few items of note: 1. Dude included all the recipes from Hell's Kitchen. Like...all. That's seriously ballsy, and much appreciated by this cub reporter. 2. Understanding the history of a recipe raises the it from words on a page to the level of a nearly sentient being. Sure, I'm as adventurous as the next amateur home cook, but I'm not going to mess with his dad's recipe. Christ...it's his DAD'S recipe. 3. I'm not a design geek, but the book itself is gorgeous. It's well designed, and wonderfully put together.
