R E C O M M E N D S : “The Babbo Cookbook” BY MARIO BATALI H I S TA K E “Mario Batali is one of my favorite chefs in the world. I own five of his cookbooks, love his cuisine and have eaten at almost every restaurant that he and his team own, which is about 12 different restaurants. When asked which cookbook is my favorite, I’d have to say ‘The Babbo Cookbook.’ It has remarkable
recipes, the pictures are great and it is easy to read and follow. While I’m a fan of all of the recipes throughout the book, the monkfish piccata and the pasta dishes are delicious. My favorite pasta recipe would have to be the classic tortellini en brodo. I do mine with chicken and fresh-sage pesto.”
