Cooking with the Firehouse Chef

Shopping, preparing food, and eating together builds a unique camaraderie among firefighters-and provides a chance to blow off some steam when not saving lives. Now, trained chef and firefighter Keith Young takes that ritual to a whole new level. Bringing his culinary expertise to the firehouse, he has created recipes that satisfy the hunger in these everyday heroes-without scrimping on taste. His award-winning dishes have made meals at FDNY Ladder-156 in Brooklyn an event in themselves, and now readers can recreate the experience in their own homes.
