Synopsis: Italian recipes from the Food Network star that show &“you don&’t need expensive ingredients or complicated methods to produce delicious food&” (The Miami Herald). In addition to appearances on Chopped and Bravo&’s Top Chef, Scott Conant is known for founding Scarpetta—cited on such lists as Esquire&’s &“Best New Restaurants in America.&” The Manhattan eatery, with its Milan-meets-Tuscany style, expanded to Miami, Los Angeles, Las Vegas, and Toronto—and now this gorgeously illustrated cookbook gives you 125 of the restaurant&’s signature dishes. Creamy Polenta with Fricassee of Truffled Mushrooms, Spaghetti with Tomato and Basil, Fennel-Dusted Black Cod—not only will you find recipes like these, you&’ll also learn how to master techniques and gain a deeper understanding of the art of cooking, rather than merely following a set of steps. And as a bonus, you&’ll find sidebars about everything from ingredient shopping to tips on entertaining at home. &“Rich in words and flavor, this is a must-have for anyone who wants to know how to cook with passion and taste.&” —Marcus Samuelsson, James Beard Award–winning chef
