Review: Culinary insiders and Houston's movers and shakers know about Brennan's Kitchen Table - a private dining room set in the heart of the famous restaurant's kitchen, offering diners not only spectacular cuisine, but an up close view of its creation.

Now those who can't actually be a part of Brennan's Kitchen Table can at least recreate the food at home in their own kitchens. The book's chapters correspond to the seven courses served at the special dinners, from lagniappe (a little some extra) to dessert. Fans of the restaurant will enjoy all the photos of and reminiscences of regulars that pepper these pages.

To be sure this is fussy gourmet fare, and while you're not likely to cook like this every night, author and Brennan's executive chef Randy Evans make his recipes as user friendly as possible for home cooks. There are lots of notes, tips and clear instructions to help you achieve restaurant worthy results at home. Beautifully styled full color photos of most dishes show what you can expect the finished recipe to look like.

The recipe collection is eclectic and there are some unusual dishes that you might have a hard time finding elsewhere. The charcuterie chapter, where you'll find recipes for making your own tasso ham, pancetta, sausages, terrines and torchons, is a perfect example. Other chapters include: Lagniappe; Soup; Salad; Seafood; Meat; Cheese; Dessert' Open Kitchen; the Pantry.
