Product Description: Philadelphia enjoys one of the country's most dynamic food scenes, and Marc Vetri is its top culinary talent. Mario Batali called Vetri Ristorante "possibly the best Italian restaurant on the East Coast." Vetri's refined rustic-Italian cuisine is on brilliant display in IL VIAGGIO DI VETRI. The recipes showcase the chef's soulful renditions of Italian classics, and accompanying notes by sommelier Jeff Benjamin offer lively lessons on the classic and lesser-known wines of the region. Throughout, Vetri shares tales of his cooking apprenticeship in northern Italy and shows how to bring the lessons he learned there into the home kitchen.
great pictures ^ i started to really get into this book, as i spent more time going through it i noticed the book contains 23 pages of what i see as wasted, pics of marc drinking coffee, talking to someone, a fish purveyor holding a big fish, all these pics take up a full page. at my first glance of this book, skimming pages, recipes, and pics, it all looked good. then i noticed a lot of micro-green garnishes and lame pics that don't serve much of a purpose. annoying and confusing. i enjoy reading this book for short periods at a time.
Story behind Vetri ^ Beautiful pictures along with the story and recipees from the restaraunt and in Italy where Mark Vetri got his training.. Can't wait to try them all...
Sincerely prepared, nice to read ^ The name of the book attracted me first. I thought that it should be a fine book to have not just about the recipes but for also to get inspired by. It have not dissapointed me. Sincereley written with nice photos to be shared. All the dishes are prepared complately to be eaten... Thanks!
a book for every culinary level ^ This is a beautiful book filled with recipes to inspire homecooks - from the novice cook to an accomplished pro. You can't help but be inspired by Marc's stories of the people and places that have influenced his appreciation of food. His interpretation of the classic spinach gnocchi is my favorite. It's clean, light and satisfying. One day I'll have to cook and post it on my food blog, CeramicCanvas(DOT)com.
At last! ^ Marc Vetri has taken the time to tell his story, his way, and in his words. The individual stories of each new friend, mentor, and experience come together to illuminate his own approach to food, wine, family, and friendship. Thank you, Marc for sharing it with us.
