The two Franks, both veterans of gourmet kitchens, created a menu filled with new classics: Italian American comfort food re-imagined with great ingredients and greenmarket sides. This witty cookbook, with its gilded edges and embossed cover, may look old-fashioned, but the recipes are just we want to eat now. The entire Frankies menu is adapted here for the home cook--from small bites including Cremini Mushroom and Truffle Oil Crostini, to such salads as Escarole with Sliced Onion \u0026amp; Walnuts, to hearty main dishes including homemade Cavatelli with Hot Sausage \u0026amp; Browned Butter. With shortcuts and insider tricks gleaned from years in gourmet kitchens, easy tutorials on making fresh pasta or tying braciola, and an amusing discourse on Brooklyn-style Sunday \"sauce\" (ragu), \u003ci\u003eThe Frankies Spuntino Kitchen Companion \u0026amp; Kitchen Manual\u003c\/i\u003e will seduce both experienced home cooks and a younger audience that is newer to the kitchen.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eFrank Castronovo trained with such culinary superstars as Jacques Pépin and France's Paul Bocuse.
