A must-have breakfast, brunch, and lunch cookbook brimming with recipes for Jewish comfort food--co-authored by the husband-and-wife team behind Montreal's famous Arthurs Nosh Bar.
Take a trip to Arthurs Nosh Bar, the family-owned luncheonette that has garnered international praise for serving Jewish classics with a twist. Named after the co-owner Raegan's larger-than-life father, Arthur (who loved a good nosh!), the restaurant is regularly lined up around the block for their in-demand OTT breakfasts, brunches, and lunches. Imagine teeming towers of decadent pancakes bathing in toppings, colossal fried chicken gleaming with hot sauce, and unbeatable challah french toasts. These delectable, easy-to-follow recipes (more than 115 of them!) are all shared here for the first time. Take your noshing to the next level with...- BREAKFAST & BRUNCH: Bring the true vibe of Arthurs home with the Syrniki pancakes that spurned Arthurs' round-the-corner lineups, sweet Karolina Waffles named after the book's photographer, or the savory classic Matzo Brei.
- SOUPS, SALADS & SANDWICHES: Try Arthurs' perfectly balanced Matzo Ball Soup and the McArthur sandwich, and you might never be hungry again!
- DELI & NOSH: Upgrade your fridge staples with Miami Chicken Salad or Smoked Salmon & Gravlax. Treat yourself to a delicious Schnitzel Plate, crispy, soft Latkes, or craveable Pierogies made with fresh summer corn and lobster.
- SHABBAT: Celebrate rest time with Lilliane's Roasted Lamb Shoulder with Saffron, slow-cooked for maximum tenderness, or the traditional Shabbat staple Dafina that stews overnight--served with a side of Diet Coke and an argument in Alex's family.
- DRINKS & DESSERT: Wash down the nosh with peachy Fros?, and always (always) save room for dessert--like Arthurs' signature Deli Sprinkle Cookies or one of their incredible pies, donuts or cheesecake.
Like Arthurs itself, this cookbook is somewhere you'll want to spend time in. It's full of big restaurant energy, and the passion and commitment to Jewish cooking leaps off every page, all showcased in a joyful design, with gorgeous photography and playful illustrations. Open this book and you'll be instantly giggling as you read through the authors' hilarious stories--these are authors who did not censor themselves!--and feeling at ease as you cook through their comforting recipes. Arthurs: Home of the Nosh is the perfect cookbook for anyone who loves to cook and everyone who has ever craved a nosh.
Author Biography
Wife and husband team Raegan Steinberg and Alex Cohen opened Arthurs Nosh Bar, named after Raegan's father, Arthur, in St. Henri, Montreal, in 2016. Before opening Arthurs, the pair worked at some of Montreal's best restaurants, including Joe Beef and Mandy's. Since the great success of Arthurs, Raegan and Alex have opened two more restaurants in Montreal: Dirty Greens and Patzzi. This is their debut cookbook.
Raegan Steinberg (@arthursmtl) is a 40-year-old self-proclaimed "retired" cook in charge of business development at Arthurs Nosh Bar HQ Inc. Co. and married to her partner in work and life. Her love of food started at a very young age; she believes it was a genetic disorder passed down by her father, Arthur Steinberg himself. She started her career at Mandy's Gourmet Salads and the now defunct Java U Catering, then polished her chops at the Art Institute of Vancouver. Since then, she's worked at famed restaurants such as the Blue Water Cafe and Joe Beef. This laid the foundation for her career as a professional butter pasta maker, or as her kids call her, "the best cooker." The rest is left to see: She hopes to build a global Arthurs empire, with a location in every major city, taking pancake batter and sprinkle cookies international. She dreams of retiring in Vermont and opening a small business there with her husband, summering in Italy, and eating her way around the world with her family. Alexander Cohen is the co-owner and executive chef of Arthurs. Before becoming a self-taught cook, he was the popcorn boy at the late, great Blockbuster, then a professional gamer. One day, he hopes to open Nothing but Butts, a restaurant that only serves the butt-ends of foods. His most embarrassing kitchen moment was melting 36 liters of deep-fryer oil through a garbage bin and staying four hours late to clean the entire floor. As for hobbies, he has none, but is working on it as per his therapist's recommendation. Raegan and Alex live in Montreal with their children, Freya and Abel, who are their entire world. They also shared their home with Pumak, their beloved Alusky dog, who was as much a part of Arthurs as anyone else.
