Molto Batali (Enhanced) (Enhanced Edition‪)‬

This book is enhanced with exclusive video of Mario Batali in his kitchen and discussing the creation of Molto Batali resulting in a large file that may take longer to download than expected. For Mario Batali, privilege is also a responsibility. Dedicated to giving back, the renowned chef believes that sharing is crucial to living a fulfilling life -- especially at the table. That spirit of togetherness is at the heart of Molto Batali, a collection of festive and delicious recipes meant for sharing with family and friends throughout the year. From lush summer salads to hearty winter braises, the seasonal dishes in Molto Batali -- all easy to prepare and made with simple ingredients -- enliven any dinner table, from a weeknight meal to a holiday celebration. Better yet, the recipes are organized into perfectly paired combinations for stellar meals. Each month features a sumptuous main course such as Leg of Lamb in a Clementine Crust; three toothsome pastas such as Wine-Stained Gemelli with Sausage "Meatballs" and Eggplant; four delectable veggie sides such as Sauteed Rutabagas with Chiles, Mint, and Maple; a rustic, flavorful soup such as Green Garlic Soup; and an indulgent dessert such as Nectarine and Black Pepper Cheesecake. The tantalizing recipes in Molto Batali reflect Mario's passion for food and family, his belief in the importance of eating together, and the joy that comes when we share lovingly made meals. This same spirit of community and family informs the charitable work of the Mario Batali Foundation, the mission of which is to feed, protect, educate, and empower children -- encouraging them to dream big while providing them with the necessary tools to become an active force for change in today's world.
