JAMES BEARD AWARD–WINNING CHEF Michael Schwartz put Miami’s
Design District on the culinary map when he opened his
restaurant, Michael’s Genuine Food & Drink, in 2007. In a
town where food and cocktails are as much a part of the
pulse as tans and nightclubs, Michael’s Genuine strikes a
very different note. Reviving the city’s dining scene from
an overabundance of “Floribbean” cuisine, the restaurant
quickly won national praise for its superlative yet
unpretentious fare, with Frank Bruni of the New York Times
naming it one of the country’s top ten best new restaurants.
In his first cookbook, Michael Schwartz shares his
approachable, sought-after recipes with home cooks everywhere. Michael focuses on sourcing exceptional ingredients and
treating them properly—which usually means simply. A salad
truly becomes a meal, such as BLT Salad with Maple-Cured
Bacon, as do pizzas, pastas, soups, and sandwiches. Snacks
aren’t precious bits on toothpicks but hearty,
eat-with-your-hands fare that can be mixed and matched, such
as Caramelized Onion Dip with Thick-Cut Potato Chips and
Crispy Polenta Fries with Spicy Ketchup. Side dishes are
adventurous accompaniments that hold up mightily on their
own, while the boldly flavored main dishes—from Grilled Wild
Salmon Steak with Fennel Hash and Sweet Onion Sauce to
Grilled Leg of Lamb with Salsa Verde—come in two sizes:
large and extra large, for serving family-style at the
table. From simple desserts that riff on classic childhood
favorites and flavors, including Banana Toffee Panini, to
Michael’s favorite drinks, you’ll have everything you need
for the perfect dinner at home. With seventy full-color photographs and abundant ingredient
tips to help make the most of what’s freshest at the market,
Michael’s Genuine Food is a guide you’ll return to time and
time again for meals that will slip everyone into a state of
genuine contentment.
