(More customer reviews)While visiting the Yountville fire station, we saw this book in the hands of a young, apron wearing firefighter responsible for the night's dinner. The kitchen smelled so good, we were sad that the Chief did not invite us to stay.
The recipes and accompaning photos are easy to make and you will love the unique take on old world recipes. But don't think the recipes are just your mother's old platters, the dishes have an edge that you would expect in San Francisco's finest and ecclectic restaurants.
Try the recipes and you will feel like you are in their "house". The firefighters' different backgrounds offer a diversity of flavors that is unusual for a themed cookbook. The pork mole, among others, is to die for! We HIGHLY recommend this book.

Firefighters are famous for their food and its no wonder since they cook their own meals seven days a week. All that practice, not to mention the peer pressure, makes for some of the best recipes in town, especially when that town is a culinary mecca like San Francisco. Firehouse Food introduces firehouse life, its brave denizens, and more than 100 of their best recipes. We meet greenhorns and veterans, retirees and local characters, all the while enjoying terrific meals designed to cook up easy and satisfy the whole crew. The recipes reflect the diversity of the San Francisco Fire Department personnel themselves-Latin-American, Asian, African, Italian, Irish, Eastern European-with a melting pot of delectable flavors. From barbecue by the experts to a Pineapple Upside Down Cake just like moms, these dishes are forgiving enough for anyone to try, and generous enough for everyone to enjoy. With color photographs of meals, downtime, cookery in action, and of course the food itself, Firehouse Food illustrates the daily routine that turns a firehouse into a family.
