Being Anthony Borudain

 



Anthony Bourdain

"Contemplation"





I travelled differently after reading his books. I ate differently after hearing his non-artificial, no bullshit, spunky symphony of stories.

From having a babi guling (roast pig) in Bali because he said "it was the best he's ever had," to eating dirty, delicious seafood in Singapore's Hawker centers, as a result of Tony describing them as "straight-up, old-school, 100 percent pure, uncut, unapologetic food porn," despite the occasional cockroach that would stroll across my table making its presence known.



The WISDOM of TONY BOURDAIN

"Your body isnot a temple, it's an amusement park. Enjoy the ride."


TONY on AUTHENTICITY


"The word authentic has become a completely ridiculous, snobbish term. There are so many first- and second-generation immigrants making wonderful mashups of food they grew up eating. On the other hand, I'm pretty sure that every time Guy Fieri puts barbecue pork inside a nori roll, an angel dies." 



TONY on ADVOCACY 

"If I'm an advocate for anything, it's to move. As far as you can, as much as you can. Across the ocean, or simply across the river. Walk in someone else's shoes or at least eat their food. It's a plus for everybody." 



 TONY on TRAVEL

"Travel changes you. As you move through this life and this world you change things slightly, you leave marks behind, however small. And in return, life―and travel―leaves marks on you." 



EXPERIENCES


"I knew already that the best meal in the world, the perfect meal, is very rarely the most sophisticated or expensive one. I knew how important factors other than technique or rare ingredients can be in the real business of making magic happen at the dinner table. Context and memory play powerful roles in all the truly great meals in one's life." 



TONY on LIFE


"Life is complicated. It's filled with nuance. It's unsatisfying. ... If I believe in anything, it is doubt. The root cause of all life's problems is looking for a simple fucking answer." 



TONY on LIFE in the KITCHEN


"I love the sheer weirdness of the kitchen life: the dreamers, the crackpots, the refugees, and the sociopaths with whom I continue to work; the ever-present smells of roasting bones, searing fish, and simmering liquids; the noise and clatter, the hiss and spray, the flames, the smoke, and the steam. Admittedly, it's a life that grinds you down. Most of us who live and operate in the culinary underworld are in some fundamental way dysfunctional. We've all chosen to turn our backs on the nine-to-five, on ever having a Friday or Saturday night off, on ever having a normal relationship with a non-cook." 



TONY on TIME


"Given our limited time on this Earth and the sheer magnificence, the near limitless variety of sensory experiences readily available in this country [Thailand], you don't want to miss ANY of it."



TONY on WISDOM

"Perhaps wisdom is realizing how small I am, and unwise, and how far I have yet to go."



COOKS & SERVERS


"The people who cook for you, clean up after you, open doors, drive you home — where do they go when the work day's over? What do they eat?"

Best Italian Cookbooks 2023

 



BEST ITALIAN NONNA COOKBOOK

GRANDMA BELLINO'S ITALIAN COOKBOOK


Ask a cookbook author or a chef for their opinion on the best Italian cookbooks and the result is likely a love letter to food in general. Italian cuisine has captured hearts (and stomachs) the world over because it is comforting, satisfying, economical, and easy to prepare, making it as loved by those who are cooking it as those to whom it is served. 

When it comes to compiling a list of the best Italian cookbooks, certain books come up again and again. What seems to be a common thread among these classics is straightforward instructions that work, explanations that place recipes in a cultural and historical context, and descriptions that help to understand ingredients and how to use them. These things make us good cooks and, combined with the personality of the authors who manage to convey the very essence of Italian food—the smells of the kitchen; the flavors and freshness of seasonal ingredients; the unfussy preparations—make the following Italian cookbooks universally timeless.



  • Best Overall:   Essentials of Classic Italian Cooking , by Marcella Hazan
  • Best Vintage Cookbook: The Talisman Cookbook, by Ada Boni
  • Best Italian-American Cookbook :  SUNDAY SAUCE , by Daniel Bellino Z
  • Best Regional Cooking: Italian Food, by Elizabeth David
  • Best for Bakers: The Italian Baker, by Carol Field
  • Best Timeless Recipes: Classic Food of Northern Italy, by Anna Del Conte



The QUENTISSENTIAL ITALIAN COOKBOOK


MARCELLA HAZAN'S
The ESSENTIALS of CLASSIC ITALIAN COOKING
aka The BIBLE of ITALIAN COOKING



From award-winning, bestselling “queen of Italian cooking” (Chicago Tribune), a culinary bible for anyone looking to master the art of Italian cooking.

Essentials of Italian Cooking is a culinary bible for anyone looking to master the art of Italian cooking, bringing together Marcella Hazan’s most beloved books, The Classic Italian Cook Book and More Classic Italian Cooking, in a single volume. Designed as a basic manual for cooks of all levels of expertise—from beginners to accomplished professionals—it offers both an accessible and comprehensive guide to techniques and ingredients and a collection of the most delicious recipes from the Italian repertoire. As home cooks who have used Marcella’s classic books for years (and whose copies are now splattered and worn) know, there is no one more gifted at teaching us just what we need to know about the taste and texture of a dish and how to achieve it, and there is no one more passionate and inspiring about authentic Italian food.




SUNDAY SAUCE


ITALIAN-AMERICA'S 
MOST SUPREME DISH
SUNDAY SAUCE



SUNDAY SAUCE

"Come here kid, lem-me show you something.You never know when you're gonna have to cook for 20 guys some day." Pete Clemenza says to Michael Corleone (Al Pacino) in Francis Ford Coppola's The Godfather. It's one of the most famed movie scenes in history, and of great importance to Italian-Americans. Clemenza is making "Gravy" aka Sunday Sauce, the Supreme Dish of Italian-America, and the dish that brings Italian Families together each and every Sunday. Learn How to Make Clemenza's Sunday Sauce, Meatballs, Pasta Fazool, Momma DiMaggio's Gravy, Goodfellas Sauce, and all of the great favorites of The Italian American Table. Cook Sinatra's Spaghetti & Meatballs, Italian Wedding Soup and more, and delight in the many stories and factual information written by Italian Food & Wine Writer Daniel Bellino Zwicke. This book is filled with Joy & Love, and you will get many years of both, reading, cooking and eating the dishes in SUNDAY SAUCE "When Italian-Americans Eat".Do you Love Goodfellas, The Godfather, and Italian Food? Of course you do. Learn How to make Clemenza's Brooklyn Mob War Sauce for 20 people some day. Remember that scene in Francis Ford Coppola, Mario Puzo classic Film Trilogy of the Corleone Family of Sicily and Brooklyn, New York. Recipes in Italian-American New York Author Daniel Bellino Zwicke's Best Selling Cookbook (2 Years Amazon Kindle) 

SUNDAY SAUCE includes; Frank Sinatra Sunday Sauce, Dolly Sinatra's Spaghetti Meatballs, Joe DiMaggio 's mom's Sunday Gravy, and Charlie Scorsese making Sauce in Prison in Martin Scorsese's GOODFELLAS - starring; Robert DeNiro, Joe Pesce, and Ray Liotta making Veal & Peppers and Sunday Sauce. And by-the-way, Joe Pesci and Liotta are both Italians from New Jersey, so they know their stuff when it comes to Italian Food and all things Italian (Mafia speak and so-forth). 

SUNDAY SAUCE SAUSAGE MEATBALLS BRACIOLE PASTA

Editorial Reviews :

Review - Great Recipes & Stories of Italian-America .... I didn't know what to expect before I loaded this on to my Kindle and started reading. The premise of the novel is a set of Italian recipes with each one accompanied by a story. This is the first of its kind that I've ever read or even heard of, so I thought I'd give it a chance and wasn't disappointed after finishing it a few days ago.Daniel does a great job of creating the recipes and making sure that each one feels authentic and taste wonderful. All of the stories with each recipe is also well done and does a great job of connecting the food to the story. It's hard to figure out which one is more enjoyable. The story side or the recipe side of this novel, but I had to chose it would be the recipe side of the novel as the recipes are truly great and highlight Italian cuisine.If you're looking for a great cook book to give you some great Italian dishes to try out all courses, with a few stories to read while your food is cooking, then this is definitely the book you've been looking for. As it does a splendid job of creating wonderful, quality meals..

Buy This One ... 
This is The Best Italian Cookbook Ever !

Authentic Italian Cooking ... Many of the recipes are very close to those, my grandmother,who was from Sicily, made. These recipes are very good. My only critique is that the book could be edited better, but the recipes are very good. Buy the book if you want authentic italian recipes.
