Popis produktu

From award-winning chef and Food Network personality Scott Conant, a cookbook of restaurant-quality Italian meals that you can make easily in your home kitchen Thirty-five years into an illustrious career of restaurant openings across the country, widespread acclaim, and frequent appearances on the Food Network’s Chopped and many other shows, Scott Conant has returned home to create his most personal cookbook yet. Meals cooked from simple, fresh ingredients were staples of Conant’s childhood in a New England family with roots in Southern Italy. From his grandparents’ garden to the dinner table, he learned early on to appreciate the nuances of different flavors and ingredients, and the strong connection between food and family. Focusing on these foods Conant grew up with and the ones he makes for his loved ones today, Peace, Love, and Pasta compiles simple, fresh, and flavorful Italian recipes for the home cook to bring to their own family’s table. These recipes are built on the art of cooking for love, fascination with flavors and ingredients, and the simple pleasures of taste and conviviality.

We could all use a little more peace, love, and pasta in our lives!” ―Katie Lee Biegel, bestselling author of It’s Not Complicated “Behind his universally loved charisma, Scott Conant is one of the best cooks I know. His gutsy, Italian-inspired recipes on these pages will make any home cook’s mouth water. Even his pasta pomodoro with just a handful of ingredients will transform your family’s dinner table.” ―Bobby Flay “Scott Conant’s Peace, Love, and Pasta is as beautiful as a bowl of his spaghetti. When I dined at his restaurant many years ago, it was the simplicity of him knowing how to execute something as simple as tomatoes, basil, olive oil, pasta, and cheese. It was cinematic and artful taking that first twirl with him. Over the years we’ve become friends. He’s been a frequent guest to our show, but more importantly, I’ve come to know him as a person. I’ve told him many times he looks like a superhero, but every reader can grab a cape too when they cook from this book. Seeing such a deeply talented chef cook from home, embracing simplicity and home life itself, will bring tears to your eyes and make you drool. Tie on your apron and twirl your forks. Cheers to Scott!” ―Rachael Ray “I’ve been lucky enough to eat at my brutha Scott Conant’s restaurants all around the country . . . call it a killer job perk.

This book is just a testament to how culturally rich and significant food can also be accessible. Italian is actually one of my favorite cuisines, and I can’t wait to dive into these recipes and start making them staples in my own house.

I resonate so deeply with the sentiment.” ―Aarón Sánchez “Scott Conant is such an incredible chef and someone I’m lucky to call a dear friend. His love for cucina rusti
