“I can only think of one thing better than enjoying Alex
Guarnaschelli's food in one of her restaurants . . . cooking Alex
Guarnaschelli's food in your own kitchen, preferably while
wearing pajamas.”
--Alton Brown
“Some of my best recipes are from Alex, who has taught me a lot
about cooking just by being my friend. Reading her book is just
like hanging out with your best friend in the kitchen.”
--Isaac Mizrahi
“I really have had a good time watching Alex graduate from a young
line cook at my restaurant to the soulful and successful chef she
is today. Her book’s approach to simple home recipes has many
restaurant tricks that I am sure inspired cooks will be happy to
discover.”
--Daniel Boulud
“Alex Guarnaschelli, who rightfully won her chops working with the
great names in cuisine on both sides of the Atlantic, brings her
skills to real-world food. This is where most of us live with our
tight schedules, hungry families, and a yen for something really
good at the end of the day. Alex lives there, too, but she has the
solutions. This is one of those books destined to become very
messy.”
--Lynne Rossetto Kasper, Host of The Splendid Table® from American
Public Media
“Alex Guarnaschelli is a brilliantly talented cook and this book
makes me want to throw on my apron on a Sunday afternoon and start
cooking for my family!”
--Anne Burrell
