Description
Learn to make elevated, professional-quality meals in your own kitchen with over 100 creative, seasonal recipes from Hailee Catalano
Growing up cooking the Sunday gravy, meatballs, and pasta alongside her Italian American grandmother, Hailee Catalano developed a huge passion for food. This passion led her to the Culinary Institute of America, and then to cooking in restaurants. But somewhere along the way, Hailee started to miss the home cooking that made her fall in love with food in the first place. Restaurants made it seem like beautifully made food was too difficult to recreate at home.
In By Heart, she presents over 100 restaurant-quality recipes designed to be made in your home kitchen. You'll find seasonal pastas (Pasta alla Norcina with Roasted Squash), veggie-forward recipes designed to make the most of your CSA box (Caponata with Dried Cherries and Green Olives), breads (Hearty Seeded Rye Bread), butters (Calabrian Chili Honey Butter), condiments (Chicago-Style Fennel Giardiniera), perfect beach sandwiches (Brie and Butter Sandwich with Shallot-y Frisée), simple sweets (Malted Milk Butter Cookies), and so much more.
Inspired by her professional training and love of seasonal cooking, Hailee includes details on how to keep a calm kitchen, navigate a farmers market, make your own broths and the perfect sourdough loaf, and plan out a Friday Night Dinner menu. Carefully crafted from the heart, this is a book you'll return to again and again.
Critic Reviews
"Catalano’s skill and sincerity come through in By Heart, a cookbook that feels neither showy nor trendy but timeless.... In all, it’s a highly cookable book with recipes that’ll give you something to be excited about every season — fried squash blossom mozzarella sticks in the summer, pot roast au poivre with charred onions in the winter — and enough emphasis on technique and efficiency to make you feel like you’re becoming a better cook." - EATER: The 20 Best Cookbooks of Spring 2025
