The Berghoff Family Cookbook

From Our Table to Yours, Celebrating a Century of Entertaining

By: Carlyn Berghoff,Jon Berghoff,Nancy Ross Ryan

150 traditional favorites from Chicago’s famed Berghoff Restaurant alongside contemporary culinary creations, plus a guide to entertaining at home. With The Berghoff Family Cookbook, fans of the beloved restaurant can now make Berghoff classics at home, including the famous Berghoff Creamed Spinach, German Potato Salad, Wiener Schnitzel, Sauerbraten, Apple Strudel, Black Forest Cake, and many more treasured and—until now—secret recipes from the Berghoff’s celebrated kitchens. More than a collection of wonderful recipes, The Berghoff Family Cookbook is a piece of Chicago history and an essential guide for cooking and party planning. What started as a small saloon in 1898 quickly became a Chicago dining institution when Prohibition prompted founder Herman Joseph Berghoff to start serving meals to stay in business. When Prohibtion ended in 1933, the Berghoff Restaurant was the first Chicago establishment to receive a liquor license, and it soon became famous for both its traditional German food and its Dortmunder beer. The Berghoff Family Cookbook offers a rare and personal glimpse into the history of a Chicago landmark, complete with full-color photographs of Berghoff’s no-nonsense waitstaff and legendary chefs, its iconic stained-glass windows and murals, the famous mahogany bar, and the chandeliers, as well as old menus and historical items never before seen by the public. Jan and Carlyn Berghoff not only provide treasured memories about the restaurant, but they also offer their wealth of knowledge and experience on beer and food pairings, how to host a bourbon tasting, party planning, and tips for memorable and hassle-free gatherings. In addition, Carlyn Berghoff shares many of her favorite recipes from her successful catering company, including Shrimp Martinis, Pesto Cheesecake, Grilled Vegetable Wraps, Pan-Seared Tilapia with Tabasco Broth, and Almond-Pear Tartlets. The Berghoff Family Cookbook helps cooks everywhere create delicious food, special celebrations, and lasting traditions.

The Berghoff Cafe Cookbook

Berghoff Family Recipes for Simple, Satisfying Food

By: Carlyn Berghoff,Nancy Ryan

Recreate customer favorite dishes from the popular Chicago eatery wherever you are with this collection of delicious recipes. Family is everything, and so is food when it comes to the Berghoff family. The Berghoff Cafe food and drink, originated by Herman Berghoff more than 110 years ago, is the foundation of Berghoff tradition carried on today by great-granddaughter Carlyn Berghoff. Cafe fare is simple and satisfying, nothing fancy, and not at all fussy. You can still enjoy this same kind of food today at Chicago's Berghoff Cafe, either downstairs on Adams Street or at O’Hare International Airport. The cafe food is built upon three principles that work in the restaurant as well as at home: reuse, recycle, and reinvent. The Berghoffs reuse their basics and waste nothing, so potatoes become Mashed Potatoes, Lyonnaise Potatoes, hash browns, Potato Salad, oven-roasted potatoes, potato pancakes, Potato Soup, french fries, and Smoked Sausage and Potato Pizza. They also recycle perfectly wholesome cooked foods so Herb-Roasted Turkey Breast stars in the Turkey Reuben, but there's also enough left for the Turkey Okra and Rice Soup and more. The eighty recipes plus variations in The Berghoff Cafe Cookbook represent the full range of Berghoff Cafe food. There are recipes from Great-grandfather Herman’s cafe, updated for today's cook so they require less time and have fewer calories, alongside selections from today's cafe menu and customers' very favorite soups, salads, sandwiches, pizzas, and desserts. The recipes you'll find in this book are easy to prepare, look great on the plate, and are a pleasure to eat. “Visitors to the Windy City almost inevitably flock for lunch or dinner to the Chicago Loop’s century-old Berghoff Café. Its warm, bustling, clubby atmosphere evokes nostalgia for bygone days of hearty eating and noisy drinking in the best German-American tradition . . . . Cooks who want to reproduce their Berghoff favorites will find complete instructions here for doing so, even to baking their own pretzels or rye bread, part of whose secret turns out to be dill seed instead of more common caraway.” —Booklist

Eliminating Serious Injury and Death from Road Transport

A Crisis of Complacency

By: Ian Ronald Johnston,Carlyn Muir,Eric William Howard

The book explodes the myths that currently drive society's view of traffic safety and limit progress in reducing death and serious injury. It presents current scientific knowledge in a non-technical way and draws parallels with other areas of public safety and public health. It uses examples from the media and from public policy debates to paint a clear picture of a flawed public policy approach and offers preventive medicine principles to take the field forward.

Director's Cut

A Novel

By: Carlyn Greenwald

After taking a guest teaching gig, Oscar-winning Valeria Sullivan finds herself trapped in a battle of wits with her sexy co-professor, but can she keep her cool when things heat up in and out of the classroom? At twenty-nine, Valeria Sullivan is a celebrated, award-winning actress. But when her acting options start to decline and her attempt to transition to directing is complicated by a bad interview on a late night show, Val decides she’s had enough of Hollywood. Intent on pursuing a neglected passion, she pours herself into a guest professorship at USC, hoping to transition to academia fulltime. Standing in her way is her co-professor, Maeve Arko, whose brilliance and beauty is matched only by her contempt for Val. As Val rises to the challenges that teaching throws at her, though, Maeve starts to soften, and soon sparks are flying. Now with a job and a girlfriend she adores, Val should be happy. But Hollywood isn’t done with Val quite yet. Her directorial debut, Oakley in Flames, starts getting attention, and soon Val has to choose between her obligations to her class—and Maeve—and the burgeoning dream Hollywood career she may not be ready to leave behind.

Hidden Religion

The Greatest Mysteries and Symbols of the World's Religious Beliefs

By: Micah Issitt,Carlyn Main

Covering secret societies, mysterious ancient traditions, and the often-mistaken history of the world's religious symbols, this book takes readers on a tour through the fascinating world of religious symbolism and reveals the most mysterious and misunderstood facets of religion. Hidden Religion: The Greatest Mysteries and Symbols of the World's Religious Beliefs not only explores the history and origins of widely recognizable symbols, like the Christian cross and the Star of David, but also introduces readers to more obscure symbols from religious traditions around the world—even defunct ones like those of the ancient Aztec and Mayan societies. In addition, the book discusses the "religious secrets" found in the major religions, including secret societies of Christianity, Judaism, Islam, and Buddhism. Containing more than 170 entries, the encyclopedia is organized by religious category, such as Abrahamic, East Asian, and African Diasporic religions, then alphabetically within each category. Each entry is prefaced with a short introduction that explains where and when the religious tradition originated and describes the religion today. This information is followed by an analysis of the historical development and use of symbols along with an explanation of connections between symbols used by different religions, such as shared astrological symbolism in the form of moon, sun, or star motifs.
