As an award-winning chef and the owner of six busy restaurants across two continents, Nancy Silverton was so consumed by her life in the professional kitchen that for years she almost never cooked at home. With her intense focus on the business of cooking, Nancy had forgotten what made her love to cook in the first place: fabulous ingredients at the height of their season, simple food served family style, and friends and loved ones gathered around the dinner table. Then, on a restorative trip to Italy—with its ripe vegetables, magnificent landscapes, and long summer days—Nancy began to cook for friends and family again, and rediscovered the great pleasures (and great tastes!) of cooking and eating at home. Now, in Mozza at Home, Nancy shares her renewed passion and provides nineteen menus packed with easy-to-follow recipes that can be prepared in advance (with no fancy restaurant equipment needed!) and are perfect for entertaining. Organized by meal, each menu provides a main dish along with a complementary selection of appetizers and side dishes. Under Nancy’s guidance you can mix and match all the options depending on the size of your gathering. Make a few sides for a small dinner party with friends, or make them all for a delicious family feast! And don’t forget dessert—there’s an entire chapter dedicated to end-of-meal treats such as Devil’s Food Rings with Spiced White Mountain Frosting and Dario’s Olive Oil Cake with Rosemary and Pine Nuts that can be prepared hours before serving so that the host gets to relax during the event too. Whether it’s Marinated Olives and Fresh Pecorino and other appetizers that can be put out while you’re assembling the rest of the meal . . . salads, such as Endive Salad with Date Anchovy Dressing, composed of sturdy lettuces that won’t wilt . . . simple sides, such as Roasted Carrots and Chickpeas with Cumin Vinaigrette, that are just as delicious served at room temperature as they are warm . . . or show-stopping mains such as the Flattened Chicken Thighs with Charred Lemon Salsa Verde—there is something here for everyone and every occasion. With clever tips on how to organize your table and your time when serving many guests, Mozza at Home helps you throw the perfect dinner party—one that’s positively stress-free and delicious! Review: Great to read and great to cook from - I love the introduction to each collection of dinners, they are helpful and interisting. The cookbook centers around a main course and offers many sides. I checked it out from my Library and loved it so much, I bought it from desertcart the next day Review: Good reciped - Really really good recipes. Some are a little complex, I wouldn’t give this to someone who hasn’t cooked much. But the recipes are really good.

Want a Mozza by my home
I preordered this book and have spent some time reading thru it. But I have not tried any of the recipes yet. I don't like it when people do that and here I am doing a review. I am a great fan of Nancy Silverton and her books. I own all of them and do cook/bake from them, since I don't live near any of her restaurants. Many of the recipes will be ones I will make but my biggest gripe with this book is the lack of photos of completed recipes. There are several very nice shots of flowers or fruit or ingredients for the recipes. And there are some photos covering two pages with dishes on them but no description as to what they are. Some of them are right behind the chapter pages and I found my self flipping back and forth many times to try and figure out what the dishes were. Next to the dessert section are two pages of two fantastic looking cakes or desserts. One I figured out by the name but the other made me read thru a few of the recipes to determine what it was. Lack of photos was the reason I gave it a 4 stars. I will write back as soon as I make something from the book.

Great cookbook with so much general info.
I really like this cookbook. I am trying to download it on my Kindle but it looks like I have to buy it again. I thought that if you buy the hard copy book from Amazon you could also download it on your Kindle. Please help.

Great for professional cooks
This cookbook is lovely but perhaps more directed to restaurant-style kitchens. Elevated and elegant but tough for everyday cooking.

Approachable for the serious home cook
Recipes are easier than those in "Mozza", but still involve a reasonable amount of attention and involvement; these are not 30 minute, one pot meals. However, the recipes I have made have been wonderful and enjoyed by all.

A really great range of recipes
Nancy Silverton's book is full of tasty dishes that are in the rustic Italian style. The photos show how the dishes can be presented again very inspiring.

So far so great
I have Nancy Silverton's other Mozza cookbook which is a total winner, haven't made a bad recipe, but they are pretty much very lengthy and involved recipes, however, totally worth it when company start taking their first bites. When I saw Mozza at Home, I had to grab it right away. I have only made 3 recipes so far, and even though they aren't incredibly complex or lengthy, they have been delicious and can't wait to crank out a few more.

Book is great. Great meal ideas
Book is great. Great meal ideas...especially when cooking for a large group. Delivery condition leads to poor rating. The book is a Hardcover and all corners were damaged. The jacket was also slightly torn. Poor job from the shipper.

Só faltaram fotos
A seleção de receitas é legal e dá vontade de experimentá-las. Porém, esperava mais fotos de um livro como esse - pelo menos uma foto por receita.
