Book Reviews of The Palm Restaurant Cookbook

Book Review: Definitional Steak House Food
Summary: 5 Stars

The Palm's steak prep method is one that I have seen (as a waiter and as an observant patron and foody) used by several restaurants serving memorable steaks. The book teaches the Palm's prep method and offers critical timing and temperature levels to get things right. The prep method delivers steaks with a remarkable appearance for an outside finish, and beautifully contrasting interior (depending on how well or rare you like your steaks). It also delivers steaks with remarkable flavor, without getting into brining, day-ahead salting, marinades, or steak rubs. (You may want to employ the Palm's cooking method, but experiment on your own with those treatments as supplements after trying the Palm's approach to things). The method also results in an appealing "chew." It facilitates preparation where a number of steaks with different levels of doneness are desired. (Nice when one person likes rare; someone else medium well). The steak prep techniques are worth the price of the book, and probably will change the way you think about cooking steaks in the future. The book also offers definitional parameters for other dishes. The preparation and recipes for the mushrooms, and for the creamed spinach, deliver up the classical steak house results you would expect sitting in the restaurant. They tasted "right." An unexpected plus: the temperatures and timing for cooking, resting, and finishing various recipes worked unusually well for preparing and serving different dishes together. It seemed that the compatibility of the dishes for restaurant service translated into a more relaxed table delivery at home. This book is educational, delivers delicious food, might be considered an essential "reference" work, and is in the "must have" category.

Summary of The Palm Restaurant Cookbook

It's a classic steakhouse, a superb Italian-American restaurant, a power-lunch mainstay, and the oldest family-owned, white-tablecloth restaurant group in the country, with 28 locations in 24 cities--each one administered by third-generation descendants of the original owners. Now, finally, everyone can learn the cooking technique that makes Palm steaks and chops so delectably juicy. In more than 125 recipes, the secrets behind some of the Palm's most requested dishes are revealed by executive chef Tony Tammero, with recipes for Steak à la Stone, Monday Night Salad, Veal Martini, Clams Oreganato, Spaghetti Carbonara, Gigi Salad, and quite possibly the best creamed spinach on the planet. Because each dish at the Palm has a story behind it, this is a cookbook filled with real-life stories, celebrity anecdotes, vivid characters, and the very special flavor of a restaurant that has prospered while remaining true to the original owners' credo: "Exceed the customer's expectation, and treat everyone who walks through our door as if they are family."
