Rocco
DiSpirito blasts through the rash of meals-in-30-minutes
cookbooks with
a revolutionary book sure to rock kitchens across America.
In Rocco's 5 Minute Flavor, every dish
is ready in 5 minutes or less, using 5
ingredients, and all for under $5 per serving. This is fast food with all of Rocco's celebrated expertise
with flavor;
food that no one will believe didn't take hours of work.
A
James Beard Award, two restaurants, a network television
show, and two
cookbooks into his profession, Rocco left the day-to-day
restaurant
business after a long career and many, many hours behind
the stove. He
asked himself, "Can a chef find happiness in New York City
without a
restaurant?" The answer is yes. Rocco began
exploring
the good life, having dinner parties at home and cooking
for himself,
instead of chomping down leftovers at 2 A.M. He discovered
the keys to
liberating the busy home cook: shop smart, keep a few key
pantry items
on hand, and get the most out of your stove -- cooking over
high heat
is the secret to meals in 5
minutes.
includes recipes for appetizers, fondues, salads, soups,
sandwiches,
panini, sides, vegetarian main dishes, and main dishes of
noodles,
pasta, fish, shellfish, poultry, pork, beef, duck, and
lamb. And
desserts, of course. Rocco recommends his favorite high-
quality, fresh
prepared foods that are available in virtually every
supermarket
anywhere. He stocks the pantry with a few basic
ingredients -- salt and
pepper, sugar, vinegar, fat, and flour -- and uses only 5
other
ingredients in each of the 175 recipes, from Firecracker
Shrimp and
Eggplant Parmigiano to Salmon with Shiitake Mushrooms in
Ginger-Soy
Broth and Chicken with Lemon, Capers, and Red Onions.
In
addition, Rocco suggests menus for a range of events, from
a simple
gathering with friends to a lush holiday celebration;
provides a short
list (five items to be exact) of key kitchen equipment; and
offers
other tips to create the fastest, most flavorful food
imaginable. With 16 pages of full-color
photographs and 80 black-and-white photographs
