Gourmet Cookbook Club's November Pick: Urban Italian, at 40% Off!

The sun, with all those planets revolving around it and dependent on it, can still ripen a bunch of grapes as if it had nothing else in the universe to do.

~ Galileo Galilei

November's Gourmet Cookbook Club pick, Urban Italian, is a delight to read and cook from. As James Beard Award-winning chef Andrew Carmellini waited for his restaurant A Voce to be completed, he found himself facing an unusual challenge for a chef of his caliber: cooking at home in a tiny apartment kitchen. Opening with an entertaining narrative that traces Carmellini's culinary education, Urban Italian is a cookbook where the recipes are sophisticated, yet simple to make and illuminated by short pieces throughout the book shedding light on the history and practice of simple and beautiful cooking.

In her review of Urban Italian, Gourmet Book Editor Diane Abrams writes: "Carmellini tells us that he cooks to make people happy. And as my Gourmet colleagues and I tested our way through this book, we became a very happy bunch.... he divulges valuable chef secrets: how a tiny bit of Sambuca intensifies the licorice flavor of fennel; how Amaretto cookies bring the right touch of bitterness to a savory food like butternut squash; how panko adds a nice crunch to pasta dishes; and much more. As Chef Carmellini now awaits the opening of his next New York restaurant, we can only hope that he has time to create another cookbook. Meanwhile, I know what I’m giving everyone this holiday season."
