Rao's
Cookbook
Over 100 Years
of Italian Home Cooking
by Frank Pellegrino, et al
- Book Description
Rao's, the hundred-year-old restaurant with a mere ten
tables tucked in a corner of East Harlem in what was once
a legendary Italian neighborhood, is one of the most
sought-after restaurants in all of Manhattan. Its tables
are booked months in advance by regulars who go to enjoy
what The New York Times calls its "exquisitely
simple Italian cooking" from traditional recipes,
many as old as Rao's itself. You may not get a table at
Rao's, but now with this book you can prepare the best
Italian home-style food in the world in your own kitchen.
Here for the first time are recipes for all of Rao's
fabulous classics--its famous marinara sauce, seafood
salad, roasted peppers with pine nuts and raisins, baked
clams, lemon chicken, chicken scarpariello, and on and
on.
- The recipes are accompanied by photographs that re-create
Rao's magic and testimonials from loyal Rao's fans--from
Woody Allen to Beverly Sills. Here too is a brief history
of the restaurant by Nicholas Pileggi and a Preface by
Dick Schaap. Both will convince you that what you have in
your hands is a national treasure, a piece of history,
and a collection of the best Italian American recipes you
will ever find.
