Mozza at Home - 9780385354325

From the restaurateur, acclaimed chef, and beloved author of cookbooks on everything from bread baking to pizza making--most recently, The Mozza Cookbook--comes a delectable new book that explores the recipes that inspired her, after a years-long hiatus, to cook at home again.

For years, Nancy Silverton was so consumed by her life in the professional kitchen that she forgot what made her love cooking in the first place--fabulous ingredients at the height of their season, simple food served family style, and family and friends gathered around the dinner table. Now, in nineteen menus packed with easy-to-follow, prepare-in-advance recipes that are perfect for entertaining, she rediscovers, and shares, the great pleasures--and great tastes!--of cooking and eating at home. Whether it's Marinated Olives and Fresh Pecorino that can be put out while you're assembling the rest of the meal...salads--such as Endive Salad with Date Anchovy Dressing--composed of sturdy lettuces that won't wilt...simple sides such as Roasted Carrots and Chickpeas with Cumin Vingrette that are just as delicious served at room temperature as they are warm...or show-stopping mains such as Braised Oxtails and Celery--there is something here for everyone and every occasion, positively stress-free and delicious!
