Aleksandra CrapanzanoThe London CookbookFri Oct 21, 7:00PMEvent Type: CookbooksOn the Docket: Reading, Audience Q&amp;A, Book SigningAbout The London CookbookOnce known for its watery potatoes, stringy mutton, and grayed vegetables, London is now considered to be the most vibrant city on the global food map. The London Cookbook reflects the contemporary energy and culinary rebirth of this lively, hip, sophisticated, and very international city. It is a love letter to the city and an insider's guide to its most delicious haunts, as well as a highly curated and tested collection of the city's best recipes. This timeless book explores London's incredibly diverse cuisine through an eclectic mix of dishes, from The Cinnamon Club's Seared Aubergine Steaks with Sesame and Tamarind to the River Cafe's Tagliatelle with Lemon, and from Tramshed's Indian Rock Chicken Curry to Nopi's Sage and Cardamom Gin. Striking the perfect balance between armchair travel and approachable home cooking, The London Cookbook is both a resource and keepsake, a book as much for the well-travelled cook as for the dreaming novice.Praise for The London Cookbook"I can't imagine anyone as perfect as Aleksandra for the task of capturing the amazing spirit (and surprises) of the new gastronomic London. A celebrated food writer in the U.S., she also happens to know our city like the back of her hand, writes beautifully, and has the wit and imagination needed to uncover the city's best kept culinary secrets, its variety, and its flavors. She has great taste--in every sense of the word. It doesn't hurt that she's a great cook, too. This is the moment for her book, and I guarantee it will be the one everybody wants to own." —Ruth Rogers, owner of The River Café"Thank you, Aleksandra, for The London Cookbook. I'm ashamed to admit I once avoided London as a dining destination at all costs - but I am equally proud to acknowledge that it has become my single favorite culinary destination, in no small part due to its remarkable community of hospitality professionals, many of whom are featured in this beautiful book. This winning collection of recipes will keep me yearning - and satisfied -between my trips to London!" —Danny Meyer, Union Square Hospitality Group, New York"When I say this cookbook does justice to one of the world’s most delicious cities, that’s no small feat. Aleksandra Crapanzano deftly captures the pulse and vitality of London’s new food landscape while honoring its culinary architects." —Dan Barber, co-owner and executive chef of Blue Hill and Blue Hill at Stone Barns, and author of The Third Plate"Aleksandra Crapanzano takes you by the hand, leading you on a whirlwind tour of one of the world's great food cities. Irresistible portraits of the fascinating people who are changing the way we eat. And recipes that make you want to run right into the kitchen." —Ruth Reichl, author of Delicious, and former editor in chief of Gourmet magazine"London’s favourite restaurants offering their favourite recipes: what a delicious idea! This is as much about the vibrancy of eating in London as it is a working cookbook. Great stuff!” —Yotam Ottolenghi“Aleksandra Crapanzano’s celebration of the new, vibrant, immensely creative, joyful, London restaurant world, of the best chefs behind it and their glorious dishes, captures so well the spirit and the flavors that have made the city a real capital of food.” —Claudia RodenAuthor BioAleksandra Crapanzano is the recipient of the James Beard Foundation M.F.K.
