Although Barbara Lynch was born and raised in South Boston,
not Tuscany, many critics believe her food rivals the best
of Italy. It has been praised by Bon Appétit, Food & Wine,
and Gourmet, and many more. Lynch’s cuisine is all the more
remarkable because it is self-taught. In a story straight
out of Good Will Hunting, she grew up in the turbulent
projects of “Southie,” where petty crime was the only viable
way to make a living. But in a home ec class in high school,
she discovered her passion. Through a mix of hunger for
knowledge, hard work, and raw smarts, she gradually created
her own distinctive style of cooking, mining Italian and
French classics for ideas and seasoning them with imagination. The 150 recipes in Stir combine sophistication with
practicality. Appetizers like baked tomatoes and cheese and
crisp, buttery brioche pizzas. Dozens of the artful pastas
Lynch is famous for, such as little lasagnas with chicken
meatballs, and potato gnocchi with peas and mushrooms.
Lobster rolls with aïoli. Chicken wrapped in prosciutto and
stuffed with melting Italian cheese. Creamy vanilla bread
pudding with caramel sauce. Accompanied by Lynch’s forthright opinions and stunning
four-color photographs, these dishes will create a stir on
home tables.
