The Four Horsemen

The Four Horsemen: Food and Wine for Good Times is a 2023 cookbook from the Michelin-starred restaurant The Four Horsemen. Authored by Nick Curtola, James Murphy, Justin Chearno, and Gabe Ulla, the book blends approachable cooking with warmth and clarity, offering more than 100 recipes that reflect the restaurant’s playful yet refined approach. The work has earned recognition, including a notable award in the IACP Chefs & Restaurants category, and it captures the story of four friends who built a world‑renowned dining destination in New York City. With contributions from co-founders and friends, the book weaves culinary guidance with essays and anecdotes, complemented by inviting photography and illustrations.

The volume invites readers to explore the restaurant’s philosophy—simplicity, fun, and community—through practical recipes and accessible writing. It includes introductory pieces by co-founder James Murphy and natural wine advocate Justin Chearno, as well as contributions from fellow “horsemen” Christina Topsøe and Randy Moon. The book presents a mix of culinary instruction, personal narrative, and visual inspiration designed to convey the spirit of the four founders and their table‑side approach to hospitality.
