Publishers Text

With Rao's Recipes from the Neighborhood, Frank Pellegrino of New York's celebrated East Harlem restaurant Rao's, explores what he knows best: authentic Italian food. With over one hundred recipes and beautifully illustrated with both full-color food shots and vintage black and white photographs, Rao's Cooks from the Neighborhood is Pellegrino's tribute to the place he grew up and the women who taught him how to cook. From Ida's baked chicken to Rose Milano's Spaghetti Frittata, everything a cook needs to reproduce their favorite home-style meals in this book.


This classic cookbook is filled with newly discovered recipes of generations past, as well as holiday cooking, kitchen secrets, and some of the favorite menu items from Rao's. It's a love story devoted to Italian family cooking and its heritage. Every single dish is easy to prepare and satisfying to eat. Rao's Recipes from the Neighborhood will be eagerly snapped up by readers who loved The Rao's Cookbook, but will also attract new cooks who have come to know Rao's through the successful national brand of sauces (sold everywhere from King Kullen to Bed, Bath, and Beyond) and fans who know it's impossible to get a table at Rao's no matter how famous your last name or how far in advance you call!
