Where schnitzel meets ahi tuna for a beer." --New York Times
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 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.

Second, the now-standard practice of serving two sizes of soup—cup and bowl—had not yet been introduced. In 1914, soup was served by the bowl. By 1932, you could have Chicken Okra with Rice or Homemade Noodle Soup by the cup (15 cents) or the “large bowl” (20 cents). Unless, of course, you ordered the
