Todd English,
the renowned chef who brought you The Olives Table,
shares his savory, innovative, Mediterranean-inspired food
in this collection of more than 100 home-tested recipes from
his award-winning restaurant Figs. At Figs, which was voted
Best Italian Restaurant by USA Today and cited by
Boston magazine and Zagat's as having the best
pizza in Boston, there's something for everyone in the
family, from Macaroni Simoni for the kids, to Portobello
Mushrooms, Mushroom Purée, and Fontina Cheese Pizza for more
sophisticated palates. And no one will turn down a taste of
the White-Chocolate Challah Pudding with Caramel
Sauce.
Everyone loves pizza, and at Figs, pizza is the
main attraction. But that's not all you'll find in these
pages. The Figs Table showcases Todd English's
trademark style: layering flavors to create bold and soulful
food, now available to the home cook. Fennel Watermelon, and
Black Olive Salad with Feta Cheese makes a refreshing
starter on a hot summer day, while the flavors of Roasted,
Fried Pear Quarters with Frisée, Prosciutto, and Balsamic
Glaze warm a cool autumn evening. Mushroom Minestrone or
Black Bean Chill is filling enough to make a meal. Couscous
Carbonara with Country Ham is a new twist on an old
favorite; Spaghetti with Hazelnuts and Green Beans makes a
simple but elegant supper. And why not try Creamy Cheddar
and Spinach Polenta or the Asparagus Butter Risotto with
Shrimp as a change from pasta? And of course, there's the
pizza: White Bean Hummus and Asiago; Fig and Prosciutto;
Clam; Spicy Shrimp Pizza with Caramelized Leeks and Tomato
Sauce; Classico; even Kielbasa, Sauerkraut, and Potato Pizza
with Dijon Mustard Aloli. And for just a taste of something
sweet, try a Cranberry Pecan Biscotti, a slice of Torta
Caprese, or the Tiramisu that The Boston Phoenix
called "the best in town."
Simple or complex, sweet or
savory, any dish from The Figs Table makes any meal
special.
