Summary: recipes that really deliver!
Review: I recently made the Strawberry Cheesecake, and it was out of this world--best I've ever had. I find the directions to almost all the recipes very clear and easy to follow. The extra-big Tea Biscuits are fabulous, and the recipe for the Vienna Rolls alone is worth the cost of the book. (By the way, the rolls call for malted milk powder, which can be purchased from the King Arthur Catalogue. If you're not familiar with this catalogue, go to their web site; you'll love it.) Our family also enjoyed the Spaghetti with Big Meatballs and Mac and Cheese Pie. If you're looking for big flavor with an emphasis on comfort foods, this book delivers. I'm looking forward to making the Chocolate Fudge Layer Cake for my next birthday. This is one of my favorite cookbooks.

Summary: Nostalgic and delicious!!!
Review: I was born in Brooklyn in 1946, lived there through the fun '50s, the turbulent '60s, and the early '70s. I lived much of the history this great book covers and it hits it right on, from the glory days of Brooklyn to the sad decline (arguably started when our beloved Bums left). Junior's was a part of my youth and the memories are wonderful as are the recipes in dis book. For an entertaining survey of this GREAT CITY from the '20s through the '90s, this is a good buy. For recipes from a great restaurant, this is a treat. So many delicious dishes to try, so many memories to go with them. Chocolate Egg Creams, Yam Fries, cakes and pies, sandwiches, awesome French Toast, and so much more. And then there's the CHEESECAKE!! We still have them sent from Junior's. Worth every penny. Buy the book. Enjoy the book. Try the recipes. Bake a cheesecake, then call Junior's and have the real thing shipped to you from a great restaurant in THE GREATEST CITY IN THE WORLD!!! BROOKLYN!!!!

Summary: Read it for Fun, Read it for Recipes
Review: I've never been to Brooklyn and was unfamiliar with Junior's until I bought this book through Amazon. First, I'd like to complement the designer of the book. It's colorful, well organized and fun to read! Too often, cookbooks designed with 'style' become either hard to read or hard to find recipes within. This book has balance. I didn't buy this book to cook from, I was more interested in the history of the restaurant. The story, beginning with Enduro in the pre-war years, is beautifully written and a joy to read. I've passed it around to several friends who enjoyed it as much as I have. I've tried a number of the recipes and they are good, though not truly exceptional. I didn't find this surprising, as often restaurant recipes don't translate well to home cooking. Also, we can't discount the value of restaurant atmosphere. I'm certain an institution like Junior's can enhance a simple glass of milk with atmosphere! And, no, the cheesecake recipe given in the book didn't impress me. I read in another review that this isn't the same as the one at the restaurant and I can believe that. It simply isn't anything special. Regardless, this is a fun book, full of nostalgic good feelings, and I'm glad I bought it. Certainly, should I get up to Brooklyn, this restaurant will be one of my first stops!

Summary: If only you could eat it!!!
Review: My dad has watched the trolley, the Dodgers and A&S leave Brooklyn. He always says that he'll pack it in when Junior's goes. There doesn't seem to be any chance ofthat. We celebrated every special occasion with a meal at Junior's. My dad even had a Junior's card. The book reveals every nuance of the historic landmark. (Though, I can't believe they gave away all of their secrets). It is a most enjoyable read about one of the most enjoyable places on earth. The only thing missing was the Chicken Fricassee recipe. That was my favorite. It's no longer on the menu but I can still taste it!
