Overview

In the growing Mario Batali restaurant empire, Babbo remains the jewel in the crown and one of the hottest reservations in New York. Here, in a tastefully appointed townhouse in the West Village, a devoted following packs the house to delight in such creations as Duck Tongue Salad, saffron Panna Cotta, and Pasta Dusted with Fennel Pollen. In the Babbo Cookbook Mario re-creates the Babbo experience. In addition to the abundant recipes, he offers special seasonal menus and sidebars that illuminate the small details that set Babbo apart, from the way they prime the wine glasses to the fresh, local ingredients that are the basis of the restaurant's unforgettable dishes. Designed by the same team that created the look for all of Mario's restaurants and alive with Mario's own warm and friendly spirit, The Babbo Cookbook is the next best thing to dining at Babbo - and no reservation is required.

Every time I go to New York, I see Mario at the &amp;Yacute;Union Square farmers' market. It is his attention to fresh, seasonal ingredients that makes these dishes so irresistible. <br>--Alice Waters <br> Historically, when we adapt an ethnic cuisine to our own uses we start with the most ordinary and work our way up, frequently making a mess along the way. In our lifelong search for the genuine we need a guidebook to get close to the pinnacle and, in the case of Italian cuisine, it has been delivered in the shape of Mario Batali's Babbo Cookbook, which is a new standard of excellence. Babbo is my favorite American restaurant and this book allows me to bring its grace to my home kitchen. <br>--Jim Harrison <br> Funny. Bold. Beautiful. Full of life and full of flavor. From the Blood Orange Bellini to the Mint Love Letters (irreverent ravioli) and Barbecued Skirt Steak with Endive, this book is pure Mario. Great food, great snapshots (they exude the restaurant hustle-bustle), and Joe's great wine notes take you right to the heart of the Babbo experience. <br>--Rick Bayless, chef, author, and host of Public Television's Mexico--One Plate at a Time <br> Babbo is revelatory--the freshest ingredients, simply or elaborately prepared, combine into nothing short of a celebration. If food could rule the world, Mario Batali would be Emperor. In fact, he is. Or should be. <br>--Michael Stipe
