In his newest cookbook, Dolce Vita ($27, at Chapters), celebrity chef David Rocco encourages you to throw away conventional cooking rules and create your own signature on cooking and entertaining. David emphasizes good quality ingredients and simple methods to make meals that bring friends and family together. And that’s exactly what Dolce Vita (sweet life) is about—spending less time in the kitchen and more time with family and friends. The book is about relaxing and enjoying everyday and the foundation to this lifestyle is simple, elegant food. The book covers everything from antipasti to main dishes and desserts, all with easy-to-find ingredients and easy-to-follow recipes. Each recipe is accompanied by a vibrant picture and personal story from David about the dish. The book also includes pictures of David enjoying la dolce vita with his friends and family.
If you’re looking for the perfect menu for a romantic dinner we suggest you start with the stuffed zucchini flowers—fried zucchini flowers stuffed with mozzarella cheese and anchovies. For the main dish try the bucatini in a tomato and pancetta sauce—spaghetti-like pasta in a tomato sauce tossed with pancetta (pork). And for dessert we recommend the delectable chocolate eggplant—eggplant slices drizzled with chocolate and sprinkled with almonds. Buon appetito!
