Summary: A must-have for a budding foodie
Comment: Despite being a resident of Chicago for four years, I only recently made my pilgrimage to Charlie Trotter's. Given the high expectations going in, it still amazes me that his restaurant was still able to exceed all of them.
However, that dining experience was not my first with Charlie Trotter. I have owned Charlie Trotter Cooks at Home for over a year and have tried three to four recipes from each section (Starters, Entrees, and Desserts) of his book. With the book, a person can transport some of the amazing flavors and techniques into the home, yet not to be intimidated. The ingredient list for each recipe is reasonable since you can find 95% of the ingredients at the local supermarket. The cooking techniques are simple enough for someone who has comfortably advanced beyond cooking with a microwave. Each recipe ends with a simple insight offering information about the ingredients, techniques, or substitutions.
The recipes offer a solid repertoire which you can cook regularly. In fact, Trotter includes sample menus and wine pairings.
After getting the recipes down, don't be afraid to experiment because that is what cooking is all about. Then you will really be able impress your friends.

Summary: Not My Favorite Trotter Book, But Hey It IS Trotter!
Comment: I am in awe of Charlie Trotter's culinary expertise and artistry, and have bought every book he has published. If you are unfamiliar with his work, most of his recipes are not for the novice cook or anyone who does not enjoy spending time in the kitchen. This book however is a little different. I am the host of my own culinary website Italian Food Forever, and an avid cookbook collector and am always looking for another great book to add to my collection. When I want to cook a meal to impress, I generally pull out a Trotter recipe, and so I was curious to see what this book would contain since it's title "cooks at home" hints at simpler, more basic recipes than I associate with him. That is in fact what this book contains, and none of the recipes seem to be as complicated as those in his previous books that I have. I have tried a number of recipes from this book already, and to date, have not been disappointed with any. My greatest disappointment lies in the fact that this book contains only a few images, not the glorious food graphics his previous books are famous for.

Summary: As close as you can get to an easy Trotter cookbook
Comment: Considering the unworldly nature of Trotter's other cookbooks, it is a wonder he could dumb it down as much as he could for this cookbook. Although this is far and away the most accessible of his books, nonetheless it is not intended for a novice cook. Most of the recipes are within the realm of possibility, and some are actually pretty basic. For a change, the recipes won't make you want to launch the book across the room in frustration. One wonders why Trotter can't do more books like these rather than indulging in the culinary delusions masquerading as cookbooks.
