DINNER AT THE LONG TABLE

Andrew Tarlow, the acclaimed owner of Diner, Marlow & Sons, Marlow & Daughters, Reynard, and the Wythe Hotel, is credited with putting the Brooklyn dining scene on the map. In his debut cookbook, he collects a year's worth of memorable feasts and intimate dinners, inspired by the food from his restaurants.

Andrew Tarlow's restaurants are characterized by food that is straight-forward without being boring, beautiful without being fussy, and crowd-pleasing without being dumbed down. He brings this same keen eye for what people want to eat in Dinner at the Long Table, a cookbook organized around a year of menus ranging from intimate gatherings to blow-out celebrations. From large, festive paella parties to celebrate the end of summer, to lazy, mid-winter slow-cooked ragus for intimate pasta dinners, Tarlow's recipes are evocative of a time and place, and bring all of the romance and joie de vivre of a meal in one of his restaurants into the home. This beautiful, usable, and very personal cookbook is an invitation to live well throughout the year.

ANDREW TARLOW is widely recognized for pioneering the artisanal food movement in Brooklyn with his collection of acclaimed restaurants, including Diner, Marlow & Sons, and Roman. Most recently, Tarlow and his partners opened the Wythe Hotel and its ground floor restaurant Reynard in a turn-of-the-century factory building in Williamsburg, Brooklyn. Tarlow is also the founder and publisher of Diner Journal, a quarterly magazine. Tarlow grew up in New York and began his career as a painter and bartender at the Odeon. He now lives in Williamsburg with his wife, designer Kate Huling, and their four children.
