Parm to Table

Om boken

The most fun Italian-American cookbook youll ever splatter red sauce on, with over 70 recipes from chef, restauranteur, Food Network star, and Bronx-born Italian-American Christian Petroni.

Christian Petroni grew up in kitchens. Born in the Bronx, where his uncle owned an Italian restaurant, he was surrounded by Italian-American NYC culture. But he also spent his summers in Ponza, a small Italian island off the coast of Naples, surrounded by old-world culinary Italian traditions. Hes been working in kitchens since he was thirteen and has made a name for himself working in some of the best restaurants in the NYC area, including his own, Fortina.

All his knowledge, experience, and homegrown Italian heritage are wrapped up in his debut cookbook, Parm to Table. The combination here is simply delicious: no pretension, no hang-ups, just good food made to taste like your nonna made it.

The book is broken up into chapters based on what youre looking for:

Italian-American Classics, like 8-Hour Marinara Sauce and Neapolitan Eggplant Parmigiana
Family-Style Meals, like Lasagna Calabrese Influence, Fried Meatballs, and Fresh Mozzarella Sticks
Weeknight Go-Tos, like My Babes Sausage & Peppers and Potato Frittata
Ponza inspired dishes, like Spaghetti Vongole and Zia Gisellas Braised Calamari Pasta
Plus Soups and Braises, Heros (sandwiches), Condimenti & Basic Sauces, and Dolci (Sweets)

With lush food photography and lifestyle imagery throughout, the book is as visually stunning as the food is delicious. Parm to Table is the go-to cookbook for anyone who loves comforting, home-cooked food, from Italy to the Bronx.
