Andrew Tarlow, the acclaimed owner of Diner, Marlow & Sons, Marlow & Daughters, Reynard, and the Wythe Hotel, is credited with putting the Brooklyn dining scene on the map. In his debut cookbook, he collects a year's worth of memorable feasts and intimate dinners, inspired by the food from his restaurants.
Andrew Tarlow's restaurants are characterized by food that is straight-forward without being boring, beautiful without being fussy, and crowd-pleasing without being dumbed down. He brings this same keen eye for what people want to eat in "Dinner at the Long Table, " a cookbook organized around a year of menus ranging from intimate gatherings to blow-out celebrations. From large, festive paella parties to celebrate the end of summer, to lazy, mid-winter slow-cooked ragus for intimate pasta dinners, Tarlow's recipes are evocative of a time and place, and bring all of the romance and joie de vivre of a meal in one of his restaurants into the home. This beautiful, usable, and very personal cookbook is an invitation to live well throughout the year.
