Description
"From three-time James Beard Award-nominated chef Hillary Sterling, over 100 seasonal recipes grounded in warmth and layered flavor that have earned her acclaim at the helm of Ci Siamo. Ammazza! (a Roman slang word used to express awe, admiration, or delight) is a celebration of bold, seasonal flavors and the story of a life in food. Raised in a Jewish household in Sheepshead Bay, Brooklyn-where her grandmother kept kosher downstairs and her family broke the rules upstairs-Hillary shares the recipes that trace her path from growing up at home to her early days as a young cook in Montauk, to her love affair with Italian cooking, and to her career spent in the kitchens of New York's most beloved restaurants. Following the rhythm of the seasons, these recipes showcase Hillary's brilliance with flavor-layered, punchy, and deeply satisfying. Interspersed are menus rooted in family and tradition, with plenty of inventive twists: a Passover table with Italian flair and a Mexican Thanksgiving feast. Hillary cooks with heart, precision, and the confidence of someone who has led the world's top kitchens, and she translates that art for the home cook here"-- Provided by publisher.
