Nightly Specials – 125 Contemporary American Recipes for Spontaneous, Creative Cooking at Home (Michael Lomonaco and Andrew Friedman)

Product Info

Lomonaco is a restauranteur, chef, TV personality and one of American cooking’s shining stars. His earlier cookbook was The 21 Cookbook for the New York restaurant he helped revive. Why “Nightly Specials”? Because they are spontaneous and a way to cook with seasonal fruits and vegetables, the catch of the day, unexpected leftovers, and spur-of-the-moment market finds. They are also a way for chefs to experiment with exciting new ingredients, develop their own signature dishes, and road-test new ideas that may eventually become regular menu features.  Because there's no set menu in a home kitchen, every dinner is a nightly special. Nightly Specials shows home cooks how restaurant and home cooking can meet. The book offers up 125 recipes that use fresh and spontaneous ingredients to create innovative meals from start to finish.  On offer is a 2004 first edition hardback with dust jacket; book and jacket are in very good condition.
