<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>This witty cookbook featuring recipes from the famous Italian-American restaurant will seduce home cooks with shortcuts and insider tricks gleaned from years spent in gourmet kitchens, easy tutorials on making fresh pasta, and an amusing discourse on Brooklyn-style Sunday sauce."<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><b>"Everything I made from the book . . . was surprisingly easy and just as delicious as what I've eaten at the restaurants." --<i>New York Times</i> Book Review</b> <p/> From Brooklyn's sizzling restaurant scene, the hottest cookbook of the season... <p/> 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 <i>The New York Times</i>). 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), <i>The Frankies Spuntino Kitchen Companion & Kitchen Manual</i> will seduce both experienced home cooks and a younger audience that is newer to the kitchen.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>"The ingredient lists are short, the recipes are simple, flavorful, and easy to follow." <br><i><b>--New York Times</b></i> <p/> "This witty guide showcases the 'radically simple' cooking philosophy of the chef-owners of Brooklyn's Frankies Spuntino. It presents pared-down Italian food full of flavor, not pretense." <br><i><b>-Bon Appétit</b></i> <p/> "Everything I made from the book . . . was surprisingly easy and just as delicious as what I've eaten at the restaurants." <br><b>-<i>New York Times</i> Book Review</b> <p/> "A cookbook that's as useful as it is artfully conceived." <br><i><b>-GQ <br> </b></i> <br> "The team behind the popular Brooklyn eatery divulges light Italian secrets in this beautiful tome worthy of any bookshelf." <br><i><b>-Entertainment Weekly</b></i> <p/> "When we're craving the comforts of red sauce classics, the Frankie's cookbook is full of reliable recipes guaranteed to keep us satiated." <br><i><b>--Time Out New York</b></i> <p/> "The book is a perfect reflection of the Franks' philosophy of making the past the hippest part of the present." <br><i><b>-Food & Wine</b></i> <p/> "This quirky, lovely, intelligent cookbook is worth reading from cover to cover than starting over again." <br><i><b>-Pittsburgh Post-Gazette</b></i> <p/> "Unfussy ingredients . . . surprisingly sophisticated." <br><i><b>-Grub Street</b></i><br>
