Overall, Tavern on the Green Cookbook is a delightful addition to any kitchen library — polished, inviting, and full of recipes that truly shine when brought to life. I’ll definitely be returning to this one again.

While a few recipes run richer than my everyday cooking style, the flavors and presentation absolutely deliver when you’re looking for a restaurant-quality meal at home. It’s the kind of cookbook that encourages you to slow down, enjoy the process, and celebrate good food.

What I appreciated most is the balance: this is a book that respects tradition while still feeling modern and adaptable. The dishes aren’t fussy for the sake of being fancy; they’re thoughtful, flavorful, and clearly tested with real home cooks in mind.

As someone who tried several of the recipes, I was genuinely impressed — the instructions are clear, the ingredients are practical to source, and the results taste like something you’d proudly serve to guests.

Bill Peet captures both the elegance and the comfort of the restaurant’s dishes, offering recipes that feel elevated without being intimidating.

Thank you to the publisher for the ARC.

The Tavern on the Green Cookbook is a charming and beautifully assembled collection that brings the magic of the iconic New York restaurant into an accessible home-kitchen format.

Feds told Oregon grocers they couldn’t offer 10% off to SNAP recipients, so they got creative with the honor system at the three Oregon stores, now offering the discount to all who need it.
