A bright, bold and modern Italian cookbook packed with 115+ delicious
mix-and-match recipes, plus a few goofs and some
thoughts on creating a fuller life for yourself and the people around
you.
A different kind of cookbook, from a different kind of restaurant. The
team behind the award-winning Montreal pizza joint Elena presents Salad
Pizza Wine, delivering recipes for all of life's good things, with
fresh, delicious and easy-to-recreate takes on modern Italian dishes,
including:
Elena's famous pizza
If you could eat pizza every day and feel great, would you believe it?
From heavy-hitters to off-menu pies, the secret to a pizza-filled life
is in Elena's naturally leavened dough.
Salads + Vegetables
Like people, this book contains multitudes; you can stuff your face with
pizza on the daily and take pleasure in eating vegetables with the
seasons.
Pasta
Learn how to make two super versatile doughs and their multiple
variations, and impress your loved ones with an all-star roster of
favorite pastas.
Meat + Fish
Take your pick from weeknight-friendly recipes, dishes to save for
special occasions and one once-in-a-lifetime adventure: the gargantuan
Timpano, inspired by the classic film Big Night.
Hoagies
Who doesn't love sandwiches? Portable and easy to share with a friend,
hoagies are also perfect for wrapping up all your tasty leftovers.
Desserts
End every meal on a high note with a series of serious sweet treats for
beginners and advanced bakers alike.
Go-Tos
Lay the foundation for your home-cooking adventure with basic recipes
that deliver big flavor, from crunchy toasted breadcrumbs and
multi-purpose sauces to simple pickles and homemade cheeses.
More than a collection of recipes, Salad Pizza Wine shares Elena's
passion for natural wines too--the wine part of Salad Pizza Wine--as
well as their goofs and thoughts on living a fuller life. The
authors--Janice, Stephanie, Ryan, Marley--were part of Elena's opening
team who came together, burnt out from years in the restaurant industry
and ready to start afresh. Their answer was to create a restaurant that
was also a healthy working environment (gasp). At Elena, it's all about
making the most of a good thing--and the same goes for this book.
Whether it's planning a dinner (salad, pizza, wine? pizza, pasta,
dessert? salad, meat, hoagie?), or letting go of stuff that no longer
serves you, Salad Pizza Wine encourages you to choose your own
adventure--both in the kitchen and in life.
Written in a self-deprecating, tongue-in-cheek style, this is a cookbook
you'll really want to cook from, as well as to read. Because what's
better than cooking beautiful food, being kind to those around us and
laughing as we all try to figure it out?
