Cookbooks
From Brooklyn's sizzling restaurant scene, the hottest
cookbook of the season... From urban singles to families with kids, local residents to
the Hollywood set, everyone flocks to Frankies Spuntino—a
tin-ceilinged, brick-walled restaurant in Brooklyn's Carroll
Gardens—for food that is "completely satisfying" (wrote
Frank Bruni in The New York Times). The two Franks, both
veterans of gourmet kitchens, created a menu filled with new
classics: Italian American comfort food re-imagined with
great ingredients and greenmarket sides. This witty
cookbook, with its gilded edges and embossed cover, may look
old-fashioned, but the recipes are just we want to eat now.
The entire Frankies menu is adapted here for the home
cook—from small bites including Cremini Mushroom and Truffle
Oil Crostini, to such salads as Escarole with Sliced Onion &
Walnuts, to hearty main dishes including homemade Cavatelli
with Hot Sausage & Browned Butter. With shortcuts and
insider tricks gleaned from years in gourmet kitchens, easy
tutorials on making fresh pasta or tying braciola, and an
amusing discourse on Brooklyn-style Sunday "sauce" (ragu),
The Frankies Spuntino Kitchen Companion & Kitchen Manual
will seduce both experienced home cooks and a younger
audience that is newer to the kitchen.
