Seven Neighborhoods of Yum
So, so good! When we moved away from Detroit, ordering standard dishes that I grew up with were so different, just a few counties away. Ordering something as simple as egg rolls, were not at all what I expected. This book explains the idiosyncrasies of my home town and the recipes send you home again.
I love that hard to find ingredients aren’t required. It’s good old fashioned home cooking, oh so good! Highly recommended.
Beautiful Pictures Straight Forward Recipes
This cookbook is amazing. The history about the neighborhoods and origins of recipes take me back. The photos are on point and recipes are straight forward and not complicated. the Almond Chicken photo looks exactly like I remember from the Golden Buddha on Detroits East Side back in the day! bought 2 for my sisters xmas gifts now I need one for myself!
A Welcome Home
Since leaving Detroit, I have been searching for the perfect Coney Island. We used to eat them after bar-close, stopping at one of the many Coneys in Downriver. This book nails it—the secret: beef heart. I never was into eating organs, but this converted me. I also made Gballah for my wife. It, too, was wonderfully comforting. I love reminding myself of how diverse the D is and what a great buffet the City presented. This book does it great justice.
Love everything about this book! So many legendary recipes shared in this book!
LOVE IT! “I am from Detroit area many many years ago (1970). But Detroit and suburbs has great food still. We are using this cookbook over others we have. So good!”
Great gift for Detroit lovers!
I got this book to put in a Detroit themed gift basket for my husband. He absolutely loved it! He’s already made the almond chicken and it was delicious! I can’t wait to try more recipes ❤️

Easy to follow recipes my mother in law was from polish, I followed these recipes and they taste just like hers I’m excited work /eat my way thru the neighborhoods in this book. I’m from Michigan and still live here, I enjoy that this book contains the recipes but also the history of the neighborhoods.
