The Tribeca Grill Cookbook: Celebrating Ten Years of Taste
The Tribeca Grill, famously backed by Robert De Niro and Bill Murray, is a Manhattan treasure. Since its birth in 1990, chef Don Pintabona has produced stylish, savory fare that's considered among the city's most attractive. TheTribeca Grill Cookbookpresents 125 of Pintabona's most enticing recipes, including many Grill classics such as Tomato-Basil Crostini with Shaved Parmesan, Cilantro, and Sake-Grilled Chicken, and the much-loved Tribeca Chocolate Torte. In chapters that cover a wide range of courses and dish types, including soups, sandwiches, brunches, and risottos, the book offers approachable, painstakingly written formulas. Though some of these, and particularly those for desserts, demand a cooking commitment, many are unfussy, and dishes such as Brook Trout with Pecans, Lemon, and Parsley Brown Butter, and Molasses-Cured Pork Loin with Boston Baked Beans are as simple to make as they are easy to enjoy. With a chapter on wine selection and dozens of color photos, the book should bring the Grill's relaxed spirit and good cooking home to all.--Arthur Boehm
