New NJ Cookbook

[Rosie]

Great Dishes from New Jersey's Favorite Restaurants by Vicki J Caparulo, CCP and photography by Steve Caparulo, CCP. Our very own Lou Reda from An American Grill in Randolph has a recipe for veal chop in Jack Daniel's sauce with wild musrhoom ravioli in the book. Looks delicious. Fifty NJ restaurants are in the book with recipes. Beautiful gift for the holidays. Edited December 6, 2003 by Jason Perlow (log)

Congrats to Lou!

Thanks Pete, I've actually had a good month.

1st, Vicki's cookbook came out and is featured in bookstores such as Barnes & Noble, Borders, etc. It is actually a beautiful book and I'm proud to be in it.

2nd, The Daily Record in Morris reviewed The Grill and bestowed 3 stars uopn us. The only complaint being the rolls were served room temp.

3rd, Morris Life & Health in the December issue features The Grill's Grandma's Chocolate Cake as well as a nice photo of my kitchen staff.

A nice holiday so far for us, the only complaint being the snow this weekend forced me to close both yesterday & today.

Happy holidays to all.

Lou--Can you post the links to:

The review in the Daily Record and the Morris Life & Health feature?

Congratulations.

Rosie,

The review was from from 11/27 and a new one posted yesterday to replace mine. It hasn't been sent to the archives yet. Morris Life & Health doesn't have a website as far as I can tell. The mag arrived in my mailbox yesterday. I'll try to keep an eye on the archives and post when it does.

One of my favorite dishes at An American Grill is the pan seared seven spice ahi tuna served with baby arugula, caramelized onions and roasted peppers with a ginger-lime aioli sauce.
