Peace, Love, and Pasta: Simple and Elegant Recipes from a Chef's Home Kitchen
240NOOK Book(eBook)
Overview
Thirty-five years into an illustrious career of restaurant openings across the country, widespread acclaim, and frequent appearances on the Food Network’s Chopped and many other shows, Scott Conant has returned home to create his most personal cookbook yet. Meals cooked from simple, fresh ingredients were staples of Conant’s childhood in a New England family with roots in Southern Italy. From his grandparents’ garden to the dinner table, he learned early on to appreciate the nuances of different flavors and ingredients, and the strong connection between food and family.
Focusing on these foods Conant grew up with and the ones he makes for his loved ones today, Peace, Love, and Pasta compiles simple, fresh, and flavorful Italian recipes for the home cook to bring to their own family’s table. These recipes are built on the art of cooking for love, fascination with flavors and ingredients, and the simple pleasures of taste and conviviality.

What People are Saying About This
“Behind his universally loved charisma, Scott Conant is one of the best cooks I know. His gutsy, Italian-inspired recipes on these pages will make any home cook’s mouth water. Even his pasta pomodoro with just a handful of ingredients will transform your family’s dinner table.”
“Scott cooked me one of the greatest pasta meals of my life. To now have his family-friendly home recipes available in Peace, Love, and Pasta is a gift to us all. Paccheri, malloreddus, fusilli, maccheroni, or pasta e fagioli, where do I start? This book will definitely be a new go-to resource for me.”
“I love everything Scott does and stands for. This book is just a testament to how culturally rich and significant food can also be accessible. Italian is actually one of my favorite cuisines, and I can’t wait to dive into these recipes and start making them staples in my own house. Congratulations, Chef, on making another fantastic representation of the heritage and dishes you grew up with. I resonate so deeply with the sentiment.”
“Scott Conant’s Peace, Love, and Pasta is as beautiful as a bowl of his spaghetti. When I dined at his restaurant many years ago, it was the simplicity of him knowing how to execute something as simple as tomatoes, basil, olive oil, pasta, and cheese. It was cinematic and artful taking that first twirl with him. Over the years we’ve become friends. He’s been a frequent guest to our show, but more importantly, I’ve come to know him as a person. I’ve told him many times he looks like a superhero, but every reader can grab a cape too when they cook from this book. Seeing such a deeply talented chef cook from home, embracing simplicity and home life itself, will bring tears to your eyes and make you drool. Tie on your apron and twirl your forks. Cheers to Scott!”
“This book is a beautiful tribute to the home kitchen; the simple, honest food we make for our families and friends. Scott is sharing with us the recipes of his childhood, of his life, of the very essence of who he is.”
