Anyone else have one of these?   Found it today.  Received it at a Chef's table.

[barjpoe]

 I received 2 of them many moons ago. Also got an apron one time

[CrimsonCruiser]

Is it an actual cookbook? Like with recipes for dishes on the ship restaurants?

Cuz that would be super cool

Actual cookbook. Tried to take pictures, but didn't work. Not very tech savvy

Table of Contents list recipes from the following venues - Giovanni's Table; Dining Room; Solarium; Vintages; Izumi; 150 Central Park; Seafood Shack; Chops Grill; & Portofino. Found a receipt in it dated 2014.

My other one has no date but its Volume 3 - Recipes in are listed by types - Salads; Appetizers; Soups; Pastas; Fish and Seafood; Meat and Poultry; Vegetables; Desserts; & Beverages

We received a cookbook and aprons a few years ago.  Not sure it’s the same cookbook (can’t look at the moment).  I was hoping it would have the recipe for the mushroom soup but alas, it does not.

My one son got a tour of the kitchen many years ago, I believe the chefs gave him one, have to check where he put it

I love the mushroom soup.

Thank you so much, @barjpoe !

I’m really surprised to see potatoes in this recipe.

They might be used as thickening agent.

We booked Chef’s Table for our June cruise on Mariner.  Do they always give out cookbooks and aprons?  Thank you.

No, 
In one of mine I found a receipt dated 2014.

[WAAAYTOOO]

I think they quit giving the Chefs Table gifts a number of years ago.  We went to CT last night.  No goodies.

[Dave and Anne]

Thank you.

I did not get anything when I went to a Chef's table back in June 2022.  So sad.  I would love to see the recipes in the cookbook.

 

Many thanks to @barjpoefor the mushroom soup recipe.  Just in time for the cold weather in New England.

You welcome. 

Here on the coast don't want too much snow. Just up in the hills for those that need it for their winter activities.

We just tried the mushroom soup recipe posted above to go with our Christmas Eve lunch. I used 16 ounces white button, 8 oz baby bellas, and two portobello caps. I couldn't find any of the tiny enoki mushrooms for garnish, so we just cut up one of the baby bellas. We sliced the mushrooms before cooking (not noted in the recipe), and I had some half and half already so I added a couple Tablespoons of butter along with it instead of using cream. I also used 3 sprigs of thyme instead of just one. 

It was pretty tasty - it's been over 6 months since I have been onboard a ship, so I can't say if the recipe is quite true or not though. Maybe my tastebuds will remember enough to compare in 120 days when we're on Allure. I put a couple containers in the freezer, but I don't think it will last that long. We will definitely make the recipe again, but next time I'm going to replace about a quarter of the vegetable stock with veal or beef stock, and I'll add a couple more tablespoons of butter. I wanted it to be just a little richer. 

 

[barjpoe]

Glad it came out to your liking.

They used to sell cookbooks on the the ships.   Recipes from various onboard restaurants.  I had them all.  But do not anymore.  They were fun though

[FireFishII]

I just did a google search.  You can purchase used cookbooks. 

[Maggie M]

We also received one of the cookbooks from doing Chef's Table - but that was probably 8-10 years ago.  Honestly, I don't think we've ever used it but the head chef and some of his staff did sign it for us. That was a nice surprise - sad to hear that they don't do it anymore. 

[WAAAYTOOO]

I sorted through some cookbooks and found mine. It was from Oasis but unfortunately, there is no date on anything.  Looking at all of this, it makes me realize how much more you used to get for Chef's Table !

Look back on December 19th, I posted the recipe from the book I have.

[LaurelB]

Does the book have the truffle bread recipe? 

[Debbie Morey]

Is the vegan green lentil soup recipe in there? If so can you send me a pic of it?
