Review: My brother-in-law contributed to this, and I've eaten a lot of his (fantastic) cooking, so I'm writing with a positive bias and a lot of trust in the tastes and textures based on his talents.

So far, I've tried the Beef Barley soup and the Junkyard Dog Champion Chili. Both recipes combine a tasty collection of ingredients, a somewhat long prep time, and delicious results.

There are a number of recipes in this book that sound very warm, hearty, and flavorful. The directions are quite clear - I'd summarize the attitude of the book as trying to make it clear how to get a few good dishes just right. I hope to make it through them all.

Given the quality of what you'll end up eating, and the portion of the sale price going to charity, it's a great buy.

Review: San Francisco is a place that abounds with good food. The San Francisco Firehouse is no exception. The firefighters take pride in what's being served. Thx for sharing with this book. The green chile cheese and corn casserole is splendido. The San Diego Tribune reviewed it and sold me on buying it!

Review: 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.
