Notes about Recipes in this book

  • Sage & chilli eggs

    • wester on September 09, 2019

      Very basic, quite good. Do use plenty of sage, and cook the sage on medium. On low they were still not crispy after 5 minutes, on medium they needed less than a minute.

  • Eggplant chips with fennel yoghurt

    • wester on July 16, 2018

      I made the fennel yogurt as written and used the eggplant chips as inspiration: I coated them with a mixture of egg, tahini and sesame seeds (1 egg, 1 Tsp tahini, 2 tsp seeds to 1 large eggplant) then baked in a 220C oven until brown, turning them once. Very good.

  • Pink fir, chicory & dill salad

    • Hansyhobs on January 11, 2023

      Quick and easy and very tasty

  • Pea, feta & radish salad

    • wester on July 16, 2018

      A nice fresh salad that somehow failed to cross the line from good to great. I used soft goats cheese instead of feta but that can't have made that much of a difference. Next time double the radishes, they got a bit lost. And decrease the mint. The radish leaf did not make much of a difference, but since radishes come with leaves anyway, I will keep on putting them in.

  • Brioche buns

  • Oxtail, mustard & watercress slider

    • Charlotte_vandenberg on October 17, 2020

      Takes a lot of time, but is worth the effort. Next time I’m making the double amount of oxtail, so I can put a portion in the freezer.

  • Clams, borlotti beans & wild garlic

    • Hansyhobs on March 15, 2023

      I ended up cooking this recipe as I had a random bag of borlotti beans, clams in the freezer and freshly bought wild garlic. Super easy and really tasty. I cook brothy beans a lot so I did the stock my own way with added aromatics but followed the rest of the recipe as described. Served with sourdough toast on the side. Delicious

  • Blood orange & Campari jelly

    • Hansyhobs on April 04, 2023

      I messed up because these didn't set. Still tasty

    The recipes are well pitched, somewhere between restauranty and creative home cooking...this book has the innovative design and feel of Polpo...

  • Associated Press by J. M. Hirsch

    Best cookbooks of 2015: ...a taste of comfort you will crave...Brit gastro pub grub, but it's tinged with a New York flavor. And the section on Prohibition-era cocktails certainly ups the appeal.

Publishers Text

Hidden behind rust-coloured frontage in the bustling heart of London's Soho, Spuntino is the epitome of New York's vibrant restaurant scene. After bringing the bacari of Venice to the backstreets of the British capital at his critically acclaimed restaurant POLPO, Russell Norman scoured the scruffiest and quirkiest boroughs of the Big Apple to find authentic inspiration for an urban, machine-age diner. Since its smash-hit opening in 2011, the restaurant has delivered big bold flavours with a dose of swagger to the crowds who flock to its pewter-topped bar. Spuntino will take you on culinary adventure from London to New York and back, bringing the best of American cuisine to your kitchen. The 120 recipes include zingy salads, juicy sliders, oozing pizzette, boozy desserts and prohibition-era cocktails. You'll get a glimpse of New York foodie heaven as Russell maps out his walks through the city's cultural hubs and quirky neighbourhoods such as East Village and Williamsburg, discovering family-run delis, brasseries, street traders, sweet shops and liquor bars.

With radiant photography by Jenny Zarins capturing New York's visceral grittiness, Spuntino pays homage to the energy, dynamism and extraordinary cuisine that the world's greatest melting pot has inspired.
