Italian American

Italian American, from the husband-and-wife chef duo Angie Rito and Scott Tacinelli, draws on their Southern Italian heritage and its influence on American "red sauce" cuisine. This is not another restaurant cookbook. Their recipes are a perfect marriage between family traditions passed down through the generations and their contemporary influences and techniques shaped by years in the New York restaurant industry.

This cookbook collection features a couple of hard-to-find ingredients, but mostly the best possible versions of ingredients that we often take for granted as "basic." We know the subtlety is not lost on you, and you're about to have a transcendent taste experience.

Mexican

In his first, much-anticipated cookbook, New York Times contributor, Food52 columnist, and former Bon Appétit food editor Rick Martínez introduces home cooks to the diverse culinary treasures of Mexico. In Mi Cocina, Rick travels to each of the seven regions in Mexico to explore 100 unique dishes, the recipe for each accompanied by stunning on-site photography.   

In this beautifully personal tribute, Rick expresses Mexico’s regionality through dishes like Oaxaca’s Mole Coloradito (made with pasilla chiles, dried fruits, nuts, seeds, plantain, and bittersweet chocolate) and Tacos de Capeados (cornmeal-battered fried fish tacos with papaya and tomatillo) from coastal Baja. His recipes are based on his favorite home-tested version of each dish, veering from tradition when inspired.
