Description
“On this amazing book, Fabio shows you how one can make delicious Italian dishes easily and quickly! It’s the next best thing to having him in your kitchen.” ―Antonia Lofaso, Chef and Restaurateur of Scopa Italian Roots, The Local Peasant, Sycamore Tavern and Black Market Liquor Bar
Dinner doesn’t must be daunting. In half an hour or less you’ll cook up an Italian meal at home like a professional chef. On this case, identical to Top Chef star Fabio Viviani. Infused with his warmth and humor, this book brings Fabio into your kitchen.
If Fresh Fettuccini with Manila Clams and Spicy Sausages and Chicken Pizzaiola with Mozzarella and Pepperoni appear to be recipes that are out of reach, think again. Fabio shows home chefs how one can cook “Grandma Style” (that may be, like an intuitive Italian), and even those on a tight schedule will soon be whipping up great dinners. The over 100 no-fail recipes include Mascarpone and Ricotta-Stuffed Peaches, 15-Minute Seafood Cioppino, and Salted Caramel Chocolate Cake. Fabio’s 30 Minute Italian provides a lot of time saving tips, from freezing batches of herbs and dressing to making your own pasta dough in three minutes tops.
Along the way, Fabio shares stories from his early life in Florence where he apprenticed at age five to his wheel-chair-bound and wooden-spoon-wielding great-grandmother to his American life cooking dinner for his wife and infant son in Chicago. Gorgeously illustrated right through, and filled with his through-the-roof energy and aura, Fabio’s 30 Minute Italian is guaranteed to make you enjoy your time in the kitchen―and the results!
