Home Cookin' is a hard bop jazz tune written by Horace Silver and first recorded and released by the Horace Silver Quintet in 1957. It appears on the Blue Note album The Stylings of Silver, recorded on May 8, 1957 at Van Gelder Studio in Hackensack, New Jersey and issued later that year. The instrumental is a 4/4 swing in F major, running about 6 minutes and 28 seconds, and features Horace Silver on piano, Art Farmer on trumpet, Hank Mobley on tenor sax, Teddy Kotick on bass, and Louis Hayes on drums. The session was produced by Alfred Lion with Rudy Van Gelder handling engineering. The Stylings of Silver is considered a notable Blue Note hard bop date, known for its swinging ensemble and memorable solos from Mobley, Farmer, and Silver.
