"Notes and Recipes from a Restaurant Kitchen

Tom Colicchio, chef/co-owner of New York's acclaimed Gramercy Tavern, offers inspriation to cooks of any skill level with 140 simple recipes and technical tips.

Realizing

that his own culinary style had grown increasingly unembellished, and gambling that

New York diners were experiencing that same kind of culinary fatigue (brought on

by too much ""fancy food""), Colicchio set out to prove that the finest food didn't

have to be the most complicated.

So in March 2001 he opened a new restaurant, Craft, that offered diners

simple, soulful dishes centered around single ingredients that went on to shake up

many people's ideas of what ""restaurant food"" should be like.

Craft of Cooking leads

you through Colicchio's thought process in choosing raw materials-like what to look

for in fresh fish, or how to choose the perfect mushroom-to show that good food is

available to anyone with access to a good supermarket, farm stand, or gourmet grocery.

The book also features ""Day-in-the-Life-of-Craft"" portraits, which offer a fascinating,

behind-the-scenes glimpse at areas of the restaurant beyond the dining room.

These

segments allow you to peer into the fast-paced prep kitchen, to witness the

high drama of reservations, and to get a taste of the humor and empathy necessary

to serve New York's colorful visitors and foodies.

Using Tom's straightforward

and friendly voice, Craft of Cooking offers recipes suited to any purpose-from a

quick family meal to a festive dinner party for twelve."
